ANPP TO BE REFUELED

Starting with October 1, 2005 the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant will be stopped for refueling, RA Energy Minister Armen Movsissyan told journalists today. According to the Minister, the process will take 45 days. At the same time Armen Movsissyan informed that the Russian party represented by the RAO UES of Russia expressed readiness to yield the management of the financial flows of the ANPP, though the agreement concluded for a 5-year term has not expired yet. “We have not arrived at any decision yet”, the Minister stated pointing out to the positive role of the Russian Holding in the financial and technical recovery of the station. To remind, in September 2003 the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant was conveyed to the trust management of the Inter RAO UES CJSC, the branch of the RAO UES of Russia, reported IA Regnum.
