Today on the council-board of national safety of Armenia chaired by president of country Serzha Sargsyana the project of building of new power unit is approved, press-sluzhba of chapter of the Armenian state reported. During meeting the minister of energy and natural resources of Armenia Armen Movsisyan presented to the members of Sovbeza a lecture in relation to the real stage of the building program in Armenia of new nuclear power unit, RIA Novosti passes.Marking building importance
new power unit of AES for medium-term and long-term development of economy of Armenia, and also in the context of providing of power safety of Armenia, security Council entertained all stages of realization of process, from tekhniko-ekonomicheskikh
developments to introduction of new power unit to exploitation.We will remind that international consortium WorleyParsons 12 May won a tender on the choice of managing company for realization of the program of building of new atomic power unit in Armenia. In a tender participated also
international consortium Scientech, however declined his request was for lack of guarantees.Corporation WorleyParsons Limited with headquarters in Sidney conducts build and engineerings works in the field of electroenergy, booty and processing of minerals, and also
in the field of booty of oil and gas. A company carries out operating activity in 37 countries.Parliament of Armenia of April, 8 approved a bill in the first reading "About building of new atomic power unit", which determines the choice of site area and regulates
questions of seismic and ecological safety.As a presenting bill of Movsisyan reported, for building of new atomic power unit in Armenia, on preliminary estimations, required 4-5 milliards of dollars, an exact number will be known after
completions of all necessary researches.He marked that the conducted preliminary researches had rotined that the most optimum variant is building of new power unit on the base of operating Armenian AES, those
400 megawatt, while the ground of the station foresees possibility of exploitation of block power in 1,2 thousands megawatt.Words by word Movsisyana, building of block will have the special value for a country, taking into account that Armenia is the unique country
in a region, which can produce electric power not only for coverage of own needs but also on an export.Armenia plans to build the new block of AES power approximately in a 1000 megawatt.For bringing in of foreign capital on realization of project parliament
To Armenia in 2006 legislatively abolished a government monopoly on a right for a domain new atomic blocks. Personal interest in participating in realization of this project Russia, USA and France, showed already.Operating Armenian AES was brought into an action in 1980
to the year and shut-down in March, 1989, after Cpitakskogo earthquakes are in December, 1988, taking away lives 25 thousand persons. Repeatedly put in an operation in November of 1995 in connection with a peracute power crisis in a republic.Two power units of the station are equipped by Russian
by the reactor of Vver-440 of firstgeneration. The first block is presently shut-down. Second block in a 407,5 megawatt produces power on the average from 40% to 50% all producible in Armenia electric power. In obedience to the estimations of experts, the station can function to 2016
years.From September, 2003 AES is passed in a confiding management to 2013 years of OAO "Inter of RAO of ECC".
