Armenia must ensure Metsamor nuclear power plant’s security. That’s why the activity of Metsamor plant’s block, the operating life of which has expired, must be stopped and new versions based on modern standards must be developed for producing safer energy”, Director of Institute of Radiation Problems of the Azerbaijani National Academy of Sciences Adil Garibov told APA.

He noted that there were about 15 nuclear power plants the operating life of which had expired. Armenia’s Metsamor station is one of them: “That’s why Azerbaijan considers that the plants the operating life of which has expired will not be able to resist to any natural disasters. Nobody has insured us that no incident will take place in Metsamor if the 9-magnitude quake occurs. Armenia will never close Metsamor and never refuse nuclear energy, because now the atom is a parameter showing the country’s power. That’s why Armenia sees Metsamor not as energy, but the strategic facility”.
