Minsk to set up nuclear information center in 2014

The nuclear information center will be set up in Minsk in 2014, Deputy Energy Minister of Belarus Mikhail Mikhadyuk told an online press conference "The future of the Belarusian energy system: energy and environmental aspects” on the website of BelTA, BelTA learned.

According to Mikhail Mikhadyuk, the Belarusian energy industry is open to the media and to the public: "We are always ready to provide the necessary information if someone is interested." In addition, Mikhail Mikhadyuk noted that several years ago the information center was launched in Ostrovets. It provides full information about the Belarusian nuclear power plant project and nuclear power. It has been visited by more than 6,000 people. "Those wishing to visit the site of the nuclear power plant are many, and we arrange tours for both media and public organizations to the construction site and to the information center in Ostrovets," said Mikhail Mikhadyuk.

Today the issue of opening the information center in Minsk is being considered together with the Russian partners. “We already have certain arrangements. I think that in 2014, we will open the nuclear information center with the help of Rosatom at the students’ center of scientific and technical creativity in Minsk,” Mikhail Mikhadyuk said.
