Russian reactor for Belarus's nuclear power plant
Russia's Roseximbank is ready to give a $2-billion loan to Belarus to purchase equipment for the construction of the Belarus's first nuclear power plant.
Therefore, the reactor for the Belarus's nuclear project will be inevitably Russia-made. Famous Belarusian ecologist Valery Dranchuk told the European Radio for Belarus that he had no doubts about it:
"It won't be a European project. It will be a la Russia, a la Chernobyl... The situation can be changed only if the whole nation get to the streets. Not pickets of 10 people, but dozens of thousands of people who can protest".
Dranchuk says the protests should not target the nuclear station but the methods used by the authorities for the construction of this project. Under the international convention ratified by Belarus, an wide and open public debate over the project should have already been in place.
However, "decisions are made secretly by only one person," Dranchuk said.
