NPP safety confirmed

4 июня 2021

The licensing process for the operation of the first unit of the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant was carried out in accordance with the requirements of Belarusian legislation, which is based on the IAEA safety standards. This was stated by the Russian Gosatomnadzor, commenting on the statement of a member of the European Energy Commission. As for the stress tests, they are not part of the licensing process and are essentially voluntary. However, they are still carried out in full.

Belarus voluntarily carried out stress tests according to the EU methodology several years ago. In February, a European expert mission checked some of the results, and no questions arose.
