TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A team of Armenian leaders is watching how Kansas
officials respond to a potential nuclear power plant disaster.
The leaders are observing Thursday's exercise in hopes of gaining
insight into how the United States would respond to a nuclear
event. The exercise simulates an accident at the Wolf Creek Nuclear
Generating Station in northeast Kansas.
Observing are representatives from Armenia's rescue service, ministry
of defense, ministry of health, its power plant and nuclear regulatory
agency.
In 2007, the Armenians approved a plan to dismantle a Soviet-era
nuclear plant near the capital of Yerevan over concerns about it
safety. That plant supplies nearly half the country's electricity.
