BelTA’s nuclear energy website attracts visitors from 60 countries

The audience of the new special project launched by Belarusian Telegraph Agency under the title Nuclear Power in Belarus and Worldwide covers 60 countries across the globe already. The presentation of the website dedicated to nuclear science and power engineering as well as up-to-date news from the construction site of the Belarusian nuclear power plant took place as part of the expo Mass Media in Belarus on 25 April.

Apart from specialists the general public shows an increasing interest in nuclear research and nuclear energy power engineering that can produce cheap and environmentally friendly electricity. The need for up-to-date and objective information owes a lot to the fact that, respected scientists believe, despite the vigorous search for alternatives nuclear power plants will remain the key source of energy for the mankind in the 21st century. The latest advances in the nuclear industry allow securing breakthroughs in many other areas, too, including healthcare, instrument making, space exploration, creation of the latest aircraft and supercomputers.

Belarus has joined the club of nations that develop their nuclear industries for peaceful purposes. Taking into account the growing public interest in opportunities and advantages of peaceful nuclear energy, BelTA’s new special project is destined to be the information venue to deliver information about the latest events in nuclear power engineering to visitors in layman terms. Visitors of the website atom.belta.by will also be able to learn about all the stages of the Belarusian nuclear power plant construction in detail.

The project atom.belta.by is available in Russian and English and includes several sections such as the newswire (news about power engineering industry, construction and operation of nuclear power plants in various countries), news from the construction site of the Belarusian nuclear power plant (up-to-date news from the Ostrovets site where the Belarusian nuclear station is being built), nuclear technologies in space, healthcare, and security (publications about discoveries in the area of nuclear technologies and their practical applications), analysis (comments, interview, analytical materials), case files (factual information about nuclear power plants and the nuclear energy industry), science, technologies, innovations (news about Belarusian and foreign science and healthcare), multimedia (videos, photos, infographics), press events (results of relevant online conferences, press conferences, roundtable sessions).

BelTA’s Nuclear Power in Belarus and Worldwide project targets a large number of energy industry specialists, experts, representatives of government agencies and public organizations, heads of major Belarusian and foreign companies, international corporations, financial institutions, diplomatic missions, Belarusian and foreign mass media.

During the presentation BelTA unveiled another novelty: a news exchange network. It is a modern service designed to attract readers to Internet mass media by sharing traffic. The network will allow participating websites to attract more visitors and to get only quality targeted clickthroughs. This way of traffic exchange will raise the number of visitors the website attracts and will offer the capability to expand the audience of regular readers.
