Belarus plans to hold consultations on nuclear and environmental safety with Lithuania and Ukraine soon as part of its project to build a nuclear power plant.

"In compliance with the established procedure, Belarus has forwarded reports detailing the environmental impact of this nuclear power plant to seven neighboring states. In the near future, Lithuania and Ukraine, which demonstrated their interest in this issue, will hold consultations with Belarus," Belarusian Deputy Energy Minister Mikhail Mikhadyuk said in Minsk on Tuesday, addressing an IAEA workshop on the prospects of building infrastructure for the republic's atomic energy program.

Belarus has already completed an investment feasibility study and has drafted a report clarifying the effect its planned nuclear power plant will have on the environment, Mikhadyuk said.

This report was adjusted following public hearings, he said.

"After consultations with Lithuania and Ukraine, this report will be fine-tuned and submitted to a state commission for analysis," the official said.
