Vilnius demands immediate shutdown of the faulty power unit.

Lithuania sent a note of protest to Minsk over the expected launch of the second unit of the BelNPP, LRT reports.

Vilnius demands an immediate halt to the project “until all international issues identified during missions and inspections of nuclear safety issues are resolved”.

“Preparation of Belarus for the launch of the second faulty nuclear power unit with concealment of incidents and defects from the public, as well as the threats of the President of Russia to place nuclear weapons in Belarus, testify to the irresponsible behavior of dictatorial regimes in relation to nuclear energy,” said Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis.

There are still many unresolved safety issues in the Belarusian NPP project, the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry said.
