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.
