OREANDA-NEWS. September 22, 2008. Vice Speaker of State Duma Valery Yazev visited the construction site of BN-800 reactor of Beloyarsk NPP.

He pointed out the high level of the work done on the site due to high efficiency of the constructors and the timely deliveries of necessary equipment by ZiO-Podolsk. The key problems are the shortage of constructors and the delay in the deliveries of equipment from Uralkhimmash.

Yazev pointed out that the federal authorities, the government of Sverdlovsk region, nuclear power engineers, constructors and equipment producers had to pool their efforts in order to build the reactor by the time specified by the federal target program for the development of the nuclear power industry of Russia, i.e. 2012. He was satisfied with the results of the work done so far.
