5 October 2012 – Belarus has made important progress in its
development of nuclear infrastructure, the United Nations atomic agency
said in a report released today, adding that should progress continue
the country will be able to support the construction of a nuclear power
plant in the near future.
The Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review (INIR), produced by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),
makes 16 recommendations to the Government of Belarus, including
revising its nuclear legislation to adequately address issues like
radioactive waste, strengthening the regulatory body and framework for
licensing, and developing comprehensive management systems for the
nuclear project.
“The report acknowledges Belarus’ strong expertise in radiation
protection and environmental monitoring and recognizes that good
coordination in the development of Belarus’ nuclear power programme is
beneficial,” said the IAEA’s Deputy Director General, Alexander Bychkov,
after delivering the report to the country’s Deputy Prime Minister
Anatoly Tozik.
