YEREVAN. – Armenian Nuclear Power Plant is in proper condition, chairman of Presidential Council on Nuclear Energy Safety, German expert Adolf Birkhofer stated during a press conference on Tuesday.

Reflecting on the concerns by Armenia’s neighbors, including Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia, Birkhofer said such concerns do not correspond to the reality. “Armenia is the sole country where the country’s president takes part in safety discussions, [and] is well informed of the Plant’s safety,” the German expert noted.    

In Adolf Birkhofer’s words, if a nuclear power plant has highly qualified engineers, if its management and control are well founded, the given plant is safe and reliable. And as per Birkhofer, Armenia’s nuclear power plant meets those requirements.
