Yerevan, 21 August: The operation of the Armenian nuclear power plant
[NPP] will be suspended at the beginning of September due to a complete
overhaul that will be carried out there, the director-general of the
NPP, Gagik Markosyan, has told Arminfo.
He said that the NPP’s complete overhaul would take about 85
days. It is planned to upload nuclear fuel and inspect the nuclear
reactor. Similar measures, unlike the annual scheduled maintenance
work, are carried out once in four years.
"A great amount of non-standard work is expected, the major task being
the inspection of the nuclear reactor," the director-general said.
