Belarusian nuclear station design modern, safe

Provided all the instructions and guidelines are followed to the letter, the Belarusian nuclear power plant will be safe. The opinion was voiced by Oleg Davidyuk, head of the Belarusian culture center Krok, Visaginas, Lithuania, on 17 August, BelTA has learned.

“I’ve worked at nuclear stations for the better part of my life and know the system inside out. I can say that if all the operations are arranged in line with instructions, then nuclear stations are safe. Any accidents happen to nuclear power plants either due to the human factor or the failure to follow instructions. The design of the nuclear power plant that will be built in Belarus has been tested and practiced already. The Belarusian nuclear power plant will only implement additional and improved safeguards,” said Oleg Davidyuk.

According to the source, Visaginas residents envy Ostrovets in a good way. “We have virtually no hope for a nuclear power plant of our own anymore,” he added.

On 17 August Oleg Davidyuk took part in Belarusian-Lithuanian public debates about the report on evaluating the environmental impact of the Belarusian nuclear power plant in Ostrovets.
