Nuclear Country Notes

Belarus

In July 2006 it was reported that the Government had approved a working plan for the construction of the republic's first NPP. The plan, which had been drafted by the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, proposed a 2 000 MWe plant, probably comprising two reactors. Towards the end of November the President of Belarus declared that the country had no alternative to developing its own nuclear energy and indicated that the proposed installation would be built in the southeastern region of Mogilev, and was planned to come into operation in 2015.
