NUCLEAIRES !| Emergency Situation Minister Volodymyr
Shandra disclosed this in an interview to Fifth TV Channel.
He said that the Emergency Situations Ministry signed the relevant plan in January. "The plan will be implemented in 10 years," Shandra said. He also said that there will be much work to do in that direction. "We will have to demount equipment. There are also very many questions concerning graphite...," the minister said. At the same time, Shandra said that discharging nuclear fuel from the first, second, and third reactors of the NPP, which was completed several days ago, was a very important step on the way to decommissioning of the plant. |
"Nuclear fuel had not been discharged from
the reactors before 2005 and that is one of the real steps on decommissioning
of the plant," he said.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, Shandra calls on the Verkhovna Rada to approve increase of financing of international projects on decommissioning of Chornobyl NPP and turning of the facility into environment friendly system. President Viktor Yuschenko considers that decommissioning of the plant is the priority of Emergency Situations Ministry work. Explosion at the fourth reactor of Chornobyl NPP in April 1986 caused the largest industrial catastrophe in the world's history.
