YEREVAN, July 27. /ARKA/. Armenia is now conducting exercises aimed
at checking all relevant agencies' and ministries' ability to act in
case of breakdown in Armenian Nuclear Power Plant, ANPP., Armenian
Rescue Service's press office reported on Tuesday.
This two-day training will enhance these institutions ability to
shield people from consequences of the nuclear breakdown, if any. The
exercises are based on Armenian population protection national plan
worked out in conformity with IAEA.
The plant started operating in 1976. Its 407.5-megawatt first-breed
soviet-era block is operating now. Experts say the plant can remain
functional until 2016. INTER RAO UES (parent company is RAO UES
Russia) possesses 60% of shares and the remaining 40% belong to
