The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of Armenia has confirmed that the government intends to extend the life of the currently operating power unit of the Armenian NPP. It does not mean that the country is going to abandon the idea of building a new nuclear power plant.
"The intention to build a new nuclear power plant was announced a few years ago and this initiative continues to be on the agenda, because Armenia has no alternative nuclear power plant,’’ RIA Novosti cites the Ministry of Energy.
