The Armenian nuclear power plant (NPP), shut down for scheduled
repairs in September, was not impacted by Sunday's earthquake, an
official with the Armenian Emergency Situations Ministry told Interfax.
"The Armenian nuclear power plant was 160 kilometers away from the
epicenter of the earthquake in Turkey's Van province. Tremors in its
premises measured three points. The station was not and could not
have been damaged as it can resist earthquakes measuring up to nine
points on the Richter scale," according to the ministry.
The Armenian nuclear power plant was shut down for scheduled repairs
on September 11.
The earthquake did not cause destruction in Armenia, the ministry said.
