In spring 2017 Armenian Nuclear Power Plant will be suspended for
life extension repair.

According to Armenia’s Energy and Natural Resources Minister Yervand
Zakharyan, as a result of the repair, the life of the plant will be
extended till 2027.

“The plant will be idle for some six months. The program will be
carried out due to a $270mln loan and a $30mln grant to be provided
by Russia. The loan will be given for 10 years at 3% a year. The
preparatory work will be started this year,” Zakharyan said.

Armenian NPP was built in 1980 and now has one operating WWER-440
reactor. The plant generates almost 45% of all electric power in
Armenia.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
