    THE OPERATION OF ARMENIA'S NUCLEAR POWER STATION MAY BE PROLONGED

    The Messenger, Georgia
    Oct 31 2011

    The operation of Armenia's nuclear power station may be prolonged by
    ten years according to Chief engineer of the power station Movses
    Vardanyan. He stated that similar power stations in Russia are
    prolonging their operations, and Armenia is ready to follow their
    experience.

    The functioning date for the Armenian nuclear power station expires in
    2016. There is no final decision on prolonging exploitation, however.

    The power station undergoes regular checkups and it is in good
    condition, the Armenian officials maintain. Until 2013 the Russian
    state control company Inter RAO will be managing the power station
    in Armenia. It came into operation in 1976, was stopped in 1989 after
    the devastating earthquake in Spitak, Armenia, then was re-launched in
    1995. It produces around 40% of the total electric energy in Armenia.
