Future Belarusan nuclear power plant would withstand natural disaster similar to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, claimed Sergei Kiriyenko, Rosatom’s CEO, at the meeting with Aliaksandr Lukashenka.
At the meeting the progress on the project to build the Belarusian nuclear power plant was discussed.
Aliaksandr Lukashenka recalled the money borrowed from Russia, which is approximately $10 billion. “We found a contractor who would build the facility. But due to certain discrepancies, probably in regulatory framework, some inconsistencies, certain issues do arise,” BelTA quotes Lukashenko.
"As sound stewards we should be careful with the public money and choose the most optimal cheap things though not to the detriment of quality and safety. This is probably the main thing that I should control as the President,” he said.
In turn, Sergei Kiriyenko thanked the Belarusian President for trust. “We understand the level of responsibility. We must build the safest plant. It should be reasonably priced, without any detriment to safety and quality. It should be constructed in the shortest time possible and with an opportunity of involving the maximally possible number of Belarusian companies, especially builders,” the Rosatom Director General said.
