Lukashenko Set to Build Nuclear Power Station 11:04, 23/01/2002
Alexander Lukashenko declared that in the near future the country will have to decide on the construction on its territory of a new atomic station. Speaking on Tuesday before the Belarusian academics in Minsk, Lukashenko noted that “if we do not decide on this soon enough, then it will again become mere politics”.
During Lukashenko’s visit to the institute of heat energy of the National Academy of sciences, the director Oleg Martynenko said that it is first necessary “to solve the Chernobyl problem” – that is to overcome the consequences of the “Chernobyl syndrome”.
According to “Interfax”, the nuclear power station will most likely be built in the Chaussky district of the Mogilev region. Another place in the Goretsky district of the Mogilev region is considered to be a “reserve” site.
