According to the international experts, the construction of a new NPP
in Armenia won’t need much funds and there will be no shortcomings in
financing. This opinion was expressed by the scientists at the second
international conference on prevention, revelation and resistance to
the nuclear and radiation danger, held in Yerevan, Saturday.

The scientists think that the volume of financing will depend on how
much electricity the country needs. There are four construction
technologies for nuclear power plants: US, Russian, European and
Asian. The scientists consider that Armenia should use the Asian model
for seismic security reasons. All the Korean and Japanese NPPs are
based on this technology.

To note, technological resource of the present power bloc of the
Armenian NPP expires in 2016. In spring 2007, a strategy on taking the
ANPP out of service will be submitted for the Armenian Government’s
approval.
