Without replacing power Armenian nuclear power plant’s closure is impossible – Hayk Badalyan

Without replacing power Armenian nuclear power plant’s closure is impossible – Hayk Badalyan

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS. The European Union still thinks that Armenia must close Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant, Head of Cooperation Section of the EU Delegation to Armenia Hoa-Binh Adjemian said at the discussion on the topic “Energy efficiency in multi-apartment buildings of Armenia”, reports “Armenpress”.

“In general, the EU assists the nuclear power plants, but it still thinks that Armenia must take measures to close the plant as soon as possible. It is necessary to undertake a number of security measures. During the recent 15 years the EU has provided 60 million USD on that path”, Hoa-Binh Adjemian said.

Head of the Renewable Energy and Energy Savings Department of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources Hayk Badalyan said Armenia is going to extend the operation term of the nuclear power plant for another 10 years.

“Since we still cannot find a power replacing the nuclear power plant, its closure is impossible. All our international partners are well aware that we are extending the operation term of the nuclear power plant for another 10 years, as well as we will maintain all security requirements. We are moving forward by the standards set by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The experience shows our nuclear power plant still can operate for another 10 years”, Hayk Badalyan said.
