The planned Belarusian nuclear power plant at Astravets has “generally met the requirements” of a European Union “stress test” designed to avert repeats of the Fukushima disaster, while the controversial issue of the site — less than 50 kilometers from the Lithuanian capital — was not addressed in the test.
The results of the stress test were issued in a report presented on July 3 by a European peer-review team consisting of experts from 14 EU member states as well as Switzerland, Ukraine, and the European Commission.
