Belarus is completing the preparation of the national report on the results of stress tests at the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant. As reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the document will be translated into English and submitted to the European Commission in accordance with the European specifications.

Dmitry Mironchik, Head of the Information Department, Press Secretary of the Foreign Ministry of Belarus: "The Belarusian side is clearly fulfilling its voluntary commitments to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the risks and safety of the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant under construction. Stress tests have been carried out, and Belarus continues to work closely with the European Commission and the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group."

The terms and procedure for the peer review of this report by European experts are still being agreed upon. The Belarusian side expects to discuss this issue next week in Vienna, where the 61st IAEA General Conference will open its work.
