Information about Lithuanian spent nuclear fuel difficult to obtain

20.12.2013

It is still difficult to obtain information about the safety systems used to store the spent nuclear fuel of the Ignalina nuclear power plant. The statement was made by head of the Belarusian public association Ecological Initiative Yuri Solovyev during the online briefing hosted by BelTA’s press center on 20 December.

“We receive extremely fragmentary and insufficient information about the storage facility. There is also the language barrier: Lithuanian government agencies publish information primarily in Lithuanian, additional money is needed to translate it into Russian. But I would like to reiterate that very little information is available. We will try to work on it,” said the expert.

Yuri Solovyev remarked that a lot more information about the project to build the Belarusian nuclear power plant is available in the society and mass media.
