According to the quoted opinion of M. Musso “Belarusians suffered considerably from the Chernobyl atomic power plant breakdown and have been surviving its consequences since then” that is why “it is necessary to ask the opinion of the Belarusian citizens concerning the atomic power plant construction and offer alternative power resources”.
