The construction of the BelNPP has been completed, and the priority is the safety of the station’s operation. On this stated President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, BelTA reports.
“In principle, we have completed construction and commissioning work. The station is operating at full capacity, planned preventative and other measures are being carried out, as required by regulations. The safety of our station is the number one issue,” Lukashenko said.
The Belarusian leader also noted that they plan to raise the issue of compensation with the Russian side in connection with the postponement of the commissioning of the nuclear power plant.
“There was nothing extraordinary there. <...> They offered us options for the price of fresh nuclear fuel – both for Russians and for their stations. And the warranty period is five years,” noted the head of Belarus.
The Belarusian nuclear power plant with two VVER-1200 reactors with a total capacity of 2400 MW, located near the city of Ostrovets, Grodno region, is being built according to the Russian project “AES-2006”. The first power unit was put into operation in June 2021. On February 2, 2021, the BelNPP generated the first billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.
