– New NPP will make our region more developed

Public hearings on the preliminary environmental impact assessment of the project to build and operate the 1st and 2nd units of Tver Nuclear Power Plant will take place in Udomlia, today, July 8 2009. Tver NPP will have two units with a total capacity of 2,340MW. Its prototype is Novovoronezh NPP-2. The position of Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation is to build nuclear power plants only after receiving the approval of the public. The hearings are the result of two-month work to collect public views and recommendations. Within a month after the hearings each citizen will be able to familiarize himself with the environmental impact assessment materials and to submit his proposals and remarks.

Today, the youth organization of Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant is holding an action of support for the construction of Tver Nuclear Power Plant. The new plant will make our region more developed and comfortable.

Our action is aimed at informing the residents of our city about the opinion of the local youth, at making it known to them that we support the construction of Tver NPP.
