    Armenia's Nuclear Plant suspends power production till Dec. 11

    Armenia's Nuclear Power Plant has temporarily stopped the power
    generation due to general repairs, implementation of security measures
    and recharging.

    According to the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, the
    temporary suspension of energy production will last from September 15
    until December 11.

    A spokesperson for the Ministry, Lusine Harutyunyan, told Tert.am that
    general repairs at the plant occur every four years. Her statement
    came in response to the question whether there had previously been
    temporary suspensions lasting more than 80 days.

    `This, according to international standards, requires as much time as
    we have now established. That's a compulsory international
    requirement, so there's nothing strange about it,' she said.

    Harutyunyan ruled out the possibility of energy shortage in Armenia,
    noting that alternative energy resources will replace nuclear power in
    the above period.
