Armenia needs to build a new nuclear power plant, but this process is moving very slowly – as noted by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at a government meeting, TASS reports
The PM noted that the country has set the task of building a new nuclear power plant, “However, tomorrow we will be faced with reality: there is money, there is a project, but we cannot build it because we do not have specialists. We are very late on this issue, but better late than never,” he underlined.
The operation of the existing Armenian nuclear power plant in Metsamor will be extended thanks to the co-operation of the country’s government and Russia’s Rusatom Service company. Armenia has allocated $65m to implement the programme aiming to extend the life of the second power unit of the nuclear power plant until 2036.
