Planned disconnection of the first power unit of BelNPP will last about a week. The reactor plant is now non-functioning. The power generation processes are suspended.

This is necessary for performing scheduled tasks. "Such actions should not cause concern among the population," the department stated today.

The commissioning of the first power unit of BelNPP is planned in April-May. It will be conducted by a specially created group. Its composition will be approved by the order of the Prime Minister. The group will control both the state of the facility and systems, and the readiness of personnel. The Department of Nuclear and Radiation Safety will prepare an opinion on the basis of which an operating license will be issued.

This year our country plans to host two more IAEA missions.
