| has gloss | eng: The Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant is a project to construct a nuclear power plant in Belarus. First projects for the nuclear power plant were announced already in 1980s, but were suspended after Chernobyl accident. The nuclear initiative was revitalized after Belarus gained independence. On 22 December 1992, Belarus announced its intention to build nuclear power plants and started a program to examine 15 possible sites. It was foreseen that the first unit of 500-600 MW would be commissioned by 2005, and additional units with a combined capacity of 1,000 MW by 2005 and 2010. However, no decision concerning site or reactor type was not made. However, in mid 2006, the Government of Belarus approved a plan for the construction of an initial 2000 MWe nuclear power plant in the Mahilyow Voblast using pressurized water reactors technology. |
