Belarus to cooperate with Armenia in nuclear power
13 May 2013 - 5:57pm
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said his country is
interested in Armenia's experience in atomic energy. During his visit
to Armenia, Lukashenko said Belarus is building its first nuclear
power plant. He stressed that the sides are showing interest in
exchange of information and safe exploitation of an NPP, as well as
new approaches to the building of energy units.
`You have accumulated considerable experience of exploiting such
energy blocs. We expect that Armenia will be able to send at least a
dozen experts to Belarus for them to help us in the early stages of
operation of the NPP which is under construction now,' news.am quotes
Lukashenko.
During the visit, several documents were signed, including an
agreement on exchange of information and cooperation in nuclear safety
and radiation protection.
Belarus is building an NPP (in the Ostrovetskiy district, Grodno
region) consisting of two units with a total capacity of 2.4
megawatts. The general contractor for the construction works is the
Russian joint company "NIAEP" - JSC "ASE". The project provides for
the commissioning of the first nuclear power plant unit in November
2018, the second - in July 2020.
