ArmInfo. The current state of Armenia's nuclear energy sector is similar to a well-known monologue performed by People's Artist of Russia Roman Kartsev: yesterday there were big crayfish, but for five rubles, today there
are smaller crayfish, but for three rubles. After extensive
discussions, the Armenian government has reached a decision on the
capacity and type of the new nuclear power plant. According to RA
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, a political decision has been made to
construct a nuclear power plant with a small modular reactor (SMR).
RA Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Gnel
Sanosyan commented on the Armenian Cabinet's statement, noting that
the plant will have a capacity of 400-600 MW. Based on his
statements, it can be inferred that Armenia intends to build two
power units, as SMR nuclear power plants typically have units with
capacities of up to 300 MW. Meanwhile, experts in the field emphasize
the importance of a robust nuclear energy sector for Armenia, as we
approach the fifth world industrial revolution. >>>
