March 31, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Minsk is preparing for talks with Moscow on building a second nuclear power plant in Belarus, Dzianis Maroz, appointed as energy minister today, has told journalists on the Belarusian capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea is being intensively discussed in the highest echelons of power, he said. “Preparations are under way for technical negotiations on parameters, costs and conditions for building this facility,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maroz said the energy ministry will submit a report to Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka on whether it makes sense to build the second nuclear power plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia\u2019s Rosatom built a nuclear power plant in Astraviec, Hrodna region, some 10 miles off the Lithuanian border, using with a Russian loan. Lithuania views it as unsafe and describes it as a \u201cgeopolitical weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unit 1 started operation in 2020 and Unit 2, in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last two years, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka has toyed with the idea of building another power plant or increasing the Astraviec plant\u2019s capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
