On September 24, U.S. Ambassador Marie L. Yovanovitch participated
in a conference organized by the RA Ministry of Energy and Natural
Resources and U.S. Government. The conference presented the conclusions
of recently completed planning studies for a new nuclear unit. The
studies, financed by the U.S. Government, provide essential first
stage analyses for the development of a new nuclear unit to replace
the aging Metsamor power plant which is to be retired in 2016.
The results of these studies will assist the Government of Armenia in
decision-making with respect to the technical options and solutions
for the new plant as well as serve as a basis for beginning discussions
with potential suppliers and international financing institutions.
During her opening remarks, Ambassador Yovanovitch noted, "These
studies will help identify the critical path to building a new nuclear
plant which will ensure the safety of the Armenian people and cover
Armenia's energy needs for many years."
