Belarus has made progress on addressing key safety concerns at its new nuclear plant in Astravets, the European Union said in a preliminary report after officials visited the site.
The conclusions are based on documents and information from Belarusian authorities, verified during a February visit to the plant, which is located close to the EU border. A full report will be compiled after a further peer review later this year, and will focus on the EU’s remaining recommendations, according to the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group.
