The two-reactor Metsamor nuclear power plant, a one-of-a-kind facility in the South Caucasus, is thought to be the most dangerous
Armenia’s Metsamor nuclear power plant poses a real threat to people in neighboring Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Russia, and southern Europe, according to Brenda Shaffer, an international energy and foreign policy specialist and a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center. In an article published last week in the US’s The Bulletin magazine, Shaffer made her case for why Armenia’s outdated nuclear plant should be closed permanently. “By closing Metsamor, Armenia would not only contribute to the safety of its own citizens and those in neighboring countries but strengthen peace in the South Caucasus,” Shaffer wrote.
Fuel marking has almost hit 100 per cent, according to a study by the Atlantic Council Global Energy Centre.
The study authored by Dr David Soud with support from Dr Ian Ralby and Rohini Ralby indicates that whereas the global petroleum downstream sector continues to face criminality and smuggling, Uganda has, through the Fuel Marking and Quality Monitoring Programme, achieved substantial success against adulteration, which has reduced from more than 29 per cent in 2008 to just 0.5 per cent.
The programme, which names and shames non-compliant petroleum product dealers has over the years compelled an improvement in fuel marking, a key standard essential in elimination of fuel dumping and smuggling.
