Rumours about Astravets NPP’s insecurity are political insinuations

All the accusations and suspicion concerning the insecurity of Astravets NPP are only ‘political insinuations’, head of Astravets District Executive Committee Adam Kavalko said at the All-Belarus National Assembly.

Kavalko: “Belarus is building a safe and secure nuclear power station! It is indicated in the projects and technical regulations that we are using and by the high level of the construction works, operative and system control.”

According to Kavalko, the housing infrastructure is also being built. The NPP builders live in ‘good flats’ instead of cabins.

Lithuania has doubted the safety of Astrvets NPP many times. Lithuanians even suggested freezing the construction to conduct stress tests.
