Azerbaijan's and Georgia's statements that Armenian Nuclear Power
Plant is unsafe are not true, Chairman of the Nuclear Safety Council
of Armenia Adolf Birkhofer said after the 12th meeting of the Council.
He said that similar things are said about the German NPPs. The German
authorities have decided to ban nuclear energy in their country, but
nuclear energy can be developed if there are experienced engineers
and effective state control. Brikhofer believes that nuclear energy
can be developed for peaceful purposes, but here much depends on the
continuity and the efficiency of the personnel. And so, the Armenian
authorities have decided that nuclear power engineering should be
taught in universities.
Birkhofer said that the Nuclear Safety Council was set up by the
President of Armenia July 13 1996 as an independent advisory agency
for improving the safety of Armenian NPP and raising it to the level
of European and American ones. The Council meets each year. Its key
tasks are to ensure nuclear safety, to outline priorities and to
recommend solutions in the field.
