Nuclear Is Viable Option for Baltic Energy Needs, Neverovic Says

Building a new nuclear plant for the Baltic nations is a viable way to replace power-producing capacity the region lost when Lithuania closed two Soviet-built reactors, Energy Minister Jaroslav Neverovic said.

“Under current market conditions, a nuclear plant remains one of the most attractive solutions for our region,” Neverovic told reporters today after meeting representatives of Japan’s Hitachi Ltd. in Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital.
