    ARMENIA: RUSSIA TO HELP BOOST SAFETY AT ARMENIAN NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

    ArmInfo News Agency (in Russian)

    Armenia

    Yerevan, 11 September: Russia has decided to provide 10m dollars for
    boosting safety of the second bloc of the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant
    [NPP], Armen Movsisyan, [Armenia's] minister of energy and natural
    resources, told journalists today.

    He said that Russia officially made this technical proposal to Armenia
    today. The funds will be extended to Armenia in 2008 for carrying out
    works to boost the NPP safety in 2009. The third working meeting on
    coordinating the international aid, opening in Yerevan today, will
    decide what kind of work should be carried out, Movsisyan said.

    These meetings have been held once a year since 2006 when IAEA Director
    General Mohamed ElBaradei said his agency was ready to coordinate
    technical assistance for boosting the NPP safety. Movsisyan said that
    since 2006, when the second bloc was re-launched, donors have allocated
    about 90m dollars. He added that more than the half of that money,
    about 50m-55m dollars, have been allocated by the USA and the rest
    was given by the European Union countries.
