    $90 SAFETY ENHANCEMENT WORK CARRIED OUT AT ARMENIAN NPP SINCE RESTART

    ARKA
    Dec 2, 2008

    YEREVAN, December 2. /ARKA/. Safety enhancement work to the amount of
    about $90mln has been carried out at the Armenian nuclear-power plant
    (NPP) since it was restarted.

    "We would like to express our gratitude to all the governments that
    have been rendering assistance to Armenia in enhancing the safety of
    the operating power unit since it was restarted, rap RESIDENT Serge
    Sargsyan stated at the opening the 10th meeting of the RA Presidential
    Council for Nuclear Power Safety.

    The RA President expressed his appreciation of the IAEA's activities
    to coordinate the work carried out as part of international technical
    aid, particularly the implementation of technical measures to enhance
    the NPP safety.

    President Sargsyan also reminded those present of the third working
    meeting held jointly with the IAEA and the RA Ministry of Energy and
    Natural Resources this September.

    "The meeting analyzed the work done and clarified the priority
    measures," S. Sargsyan said.

    The Armenian NPP was reconnected to the country's power grid after
    a major repair on November 17.

    In September 2003, the INTER RAO EES CJSC owned by the Rosatom
    state-owned company became trust manager of the Armenian NPP. The
    contract will be in effect until 2013.
