Timely delivery of Belarusian nuclear station promised

The Belarusian nuclear power plant will be built on time and with quality in mind. The statement was made by head of the merged company NIAEP-ASE Valery Limarenko, BelTA has learned. According to the executive, any man who happens to be at the Belarusian nuclear power plant construction site will experience aesthetic pleasure. “Machines, mechanisms, and people are working smoothly, the construction site is clean and in order. Strict control norms are exercised at every stage. The Belarusian government believes that the nuclear power plant can become an engine of the entire economy. The Belarusian production sector is trying to redesign itself in order to allow as many Belarusian enterprises as possible to become suppliers for the project,” said Valery Limarenko.

While implementing the project to build the Belarusian nuclear power plant, the Russian state corporation Rosatom tightly cooperates with Belarusian partners. Rosatom will try to continue keeping Belarusian participation in the project as high as possible, BelTA learned from Kirill Komarov, Deputy Director General for Development and International Business of Rosatom.

“The Belarusian nuclear power plant is being built in tight cooperation with Belarus. We choose every contractor via a tender and always take into account the opinion of the Belarusian customer. About 80% of the ongoing construction operations are fulfilled by Belarusian construction companies. It is a very high figure for a country that is building its first nuclear power plant. When equipment deliveries start, naturally the percentage will drop. But Rosatom carefully studies information regarding capabilities of Belarusian companies in order to let them take part in the project. We will try to make the share of Belarusian companies as large as possible,” stressed Kirill Komarov.

In his opinion, the nuclear power plant in Ostrovets is being built truly successfully.
