YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11, NOYAN TAPAN. The refuelling and
major repairs of the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant (ANPP) will
finish in late November, after which it will be again connected
to the power grid of Armenia. It is envisaged to implement work
of about 8 million dollars allocated by donor countries, the RA
minister of energy and natural resources Armen Movsisian said on
September 11.
According to him, a three-month shutdown in the nuclear
power plant's operation is conditioned by the fact that the
indicated activities are being done in parallel. Major repairs
of ANPP are done every three years, while refuelling is done
every year and lasts 45 days. Maintenance repairs at the expense
of ANPP resources will also be implemented until late November.
