November 26, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Belarus and Russia’s Rosatom plan to expand non-power nuclear and non-nuclear cooperation, Belarusian Prime Minister Raman Ha\u0142o\u016d\u010danka has announced following his meeting with Rosatom’s CEO Alexei Likhachev in Minsk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosatom’s CEO stressed the importance of the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) as its flagship project in Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We built the NPP as our own project and are doing everything now [to ensure its] further operation,\u201d Likhachev said, noting that the plant has already generated nearly 38 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NPP construction provided Belarusian professionals with experience that helped them secure jobs at nuclear construction sites in Russia and other countries, including Bangladesh, Egypt, Hungary and Turkey, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located near Astraviec, Hrodna region, some 10 miles off the Lithuanian border, the Belarusian nuclear plant was designed by Rosatom and built with a Russian loan. Lithuania views the plant as unsafe and describes it as a \u201cgeopolitical weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
