ArmInfo. The construction of new nuclear reactor is crucial for
Armenia’s economy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Troika Dialog
Ruben Vardanyan said during a press-conference today.
If realized, this project will produce a serious effect for the
economy as Armenia is a small country with small economic potential.
To remind, Dec 4 the Government of Armenia approved decision to create
a joint venture with Russian Atomstroyexport (part of Rosatom) for
building a new nuclear reactor in Armenia. The authorized capital
of the company will total 60mln AMD ($156,000). The capacity of the
reactor is 1,050MW. The preliminary cost of the project is $4bln.
