US officials have recently expressed their satisfaction with the
level of security at the Armenian nuclear power station.
Armenia's nuclear power station started functioning in 1980. It was
stopped in March 1989 after the devastating earthquake in December
1988 in the Armenian town of Spitak. However, later in November of
1995 it started functioning again because of the heavy energy crisis
the country had been facing.
Experts say the station could now function until 2016.
Armenia's closest neighbors, Turkey and Azerbaijan, demand the urgent
closing of the station because of the high-risk of its operation.
