OREANDA-NEWS. August 15, 2008. A group of experts from BELNIPIENERGOPROM (Belaurs) are planning to visit Balakovo Nuclear Power Plant in Oct 2008 in order to familiarize themselves with the work of the plant’s WWER-1000 so as to use its experience under the national Byelorussian NPP project (this plant is also supposed to have WWER-1000 reactors).

A few day’s ago the general designer of the plant, BELNIPIENERGOPROM Research and Development Institute, asked Rosenergoatom Concern to organize the visit.

The Byelorussian side is going to study ways to organize effective cooperation between the designer and the owner of the project, to ensure the high quality and the safety of the construction and to carry out effective explanatory and awareness work among the population.
