Lithuania urges to suspense operation of the Belarusian nuclear power plant until all safety issues have been addressed
The Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has forwarded a diplomatic note to the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the note, Lithuania urged Belarus to follow international requirements and standards and to immediately address the environmental, nuclear and radiation safety issues at the Belarusian NPP.
By pursuing this unsafe nuclear power project, Belarus continues to ignore the international community's requests to address all safety concerns first.
The unsafe nuclear power plant in Astravas poses a threat to Europe as a whole, and Lithuania strongly urges the suspense of operation of Units 1 and 2 of the Belarusian nuclear power plant until all safety issues have been addressed.
