The Armenian nuclear power plant follows the recommendations and guidelines of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in close cooperation with the Agency. The agency is confident that Armenia is carrying out serious work in terms of the safety of the nuclear power plant. Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said this in a conversation with “Armenpress”.
“The nuclear power plant of Armenia follows the recommendations and instructions of the International Atomic Energy Agency. This is very important. Important repair works took place at the nuclear power plant, which were necessary. So we can continue to operate. The term of operation of the nuclear power plant should be extended for several years, and we are satisfied with how these works have been carried out,” said Grossi.
Referring to the recent letter of the Turkish side addressed to the International Atomic Energy Agency, which requested to take steps to close the Armenian nuclear power plant, Grossi noted that they listen to everyone and give appropriate explanations. “We listen to everyone. The International Atomic Energy Agency is a global organization. So we listen to everyone. Regarding such concerns, we explain what we are doing, we give assurances that everything is being done correctly. I can say that this is not the only case. In other parts of the world, where neighboring countries have certain problems with each other, they approach me and ask what is happening in our neighboring country. We take them seriously, but we provide the answers. The next important circumstance is that Armenia continues to work seriously with us and strengthens the security of the nuclear power plant, and we are confident in this issue,” he emphasized.
