ArmInfo. Nuclear power can make a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy security, while at the same time supplying the growing amounts of energy needed for a country's development. This is stated in the message of the British Embassy in Armenia.
"To improve the nuclear industry, it is vital to ensure that nuclear facilities are built and operated in accordance with the highest safety standards.
We are pleased that the UK Nuclear Regulatory Authority has agreed to support the development of its Armenian counterpart, the State Nuclear Regulatory Committee of Armenia, " the embassy said, adding that the transfer of world-class British experience, technical support in specific areas related to the establishment and harmonization of safety regulations, as well as the expansion of the capabilities of the Armenian Nuclear Regulatory Committee and the organization of its technical support will form an essential part of this assistance.
The diplomatic mission also reported that in this context, the first online meeting of representatives of the regulatory authorities of Armenia and the United Kingdom was held last week, which laid the foundation for expanding bilateral cooperation.
Deputy Head of Mission of the British Embassy of the Republic of Armenia Victor Clark welcomed the participants of the event and wished them success. "I believe that this cooperation will help strengthen the supervisory capacity of the Armenian nuclear regulatory authority and promote an effective nuclear safety culture in Armenia," he said.
