    Armenian nuclear power station to close July 31 for repairs

    Yerevan. (Interfax) - Unit two at the Armenian nuclear power plant
    will be shut down at midnight local time for repairs and nuclear fuel
    loading.

    At 1:25 a.m., on Friday, one of two turbo generators was stopped and
    the other will be stopped on July 31, the plant's general director,
    Garik Markosian, told Interfax.

    Reactor repairs at unit two will take 65 days. Nuclear fuel will be
    completely unloaded and the condition of the reactor's metal body
    will be checked. Skoda of the Czech Republic will carry out the work.


    Management company Inter RAO UES has already delivered 100 nuclear
    fuel cassettes to the plant for $12 million, Markosian said.

    The power plant produced 1.66 billion kilowatt hours of electricity
    from January 1 to July 29 2004. It sold 1.51 billion kilowatt hours.
