    Belarus to cooperate with Armenia in nuclear power

    13 May 2013 - 5:57pm

    President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said his country is
    interested in Armenia's experience in atomic energy. During his visit
    to Armenia, Lukashenko said Belarus is building its first nuclear
    power plant. He stressed that the sides are showing interest in
    exchange of information and safe exploitation of an NPP, as well as
    new approaches to the building of energy units.

    `You have accumulated considerable experience of exploiting such
    energy blocs. We expect that Armenia will be able to send at least a
    dozen experts to Belarus for them to help us in the early stages of
    operation of the NPP which is under construction now,' news.am quotes
    Lukashenko.

    During the visit, several documents were signed, including an
    agreement on exchange of information and cooperation in nuclear safety
    and radiation protection.

    Belarus is building an NPP (in the Ostrovetskiy district, Grodno
    region) consisting of two units with a total capacity of 2.4
    megawatts. The general contractor for the construction works is the
    Russian joint company "NIAEP" - JSC "ASE". The project provides for
    the commissioning of the first nuclear power plant unit in November
    2018, the second - in July 2020.
