YEREVAN, MARCH 23, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian government approved on March 23 a 10-year extension of the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant’s reactor.

The decision was made at the Cabinet meeting.

The lifespan of the nuclear power plant’s N2 reactor has already been extended until 2026 and underwent major modernization and re-equipment works.

According to the Armenian government, additional investments and works will enable to extend the lifespan of the reactor until 2036 “taking into account the completed modernization works, as well as opinions from specialized organizations and the international experience in extending the operational timeframes of similar power units.”

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
