Belarus is not communicating anything about Chernobyl to other countries.
According to the source, Rosatom specialists met with Belarusian colleagues for consultations about the development of Union State programs in the field of management of radioactive waste, nuclear and radiation safety.
Leonid Dedul said: “Together with Russia we are working out a Union State program tentatively titled as ‘Crystals and detectors'. It will be aimed at manufacturing domestic detectors with the necessary sensitivity. The relevant approaches will be worked out as part of the Union State program. A joint venture is an option.”
“A total of over $19.5 billion has been allocated for implementing these measures within the framework of the relevant government programs,” the official remarked.
Possible changes will be thoroughly analyzed. A roundtable session involving representatives of Gosatomnadzor and the parliament took place the other day. Participants of the roundtable session discussed what has to be done here and now in order to improve Chernobyl-related legislation.
