"The plant will be idle for some six months. The program will be
carried out due to a $270mln loan and a $30mln grant to be provided
by Russia. The loan will be given for 10 years at 3% a year. The
preparatory work will be started this year," Zakharyan said.
Armenian NPP was built in 1980 and now has one operating WWER-440
reactor. The plant generates almost 45% of all electric power in
