Grossi and Armenian president Vahagn Khachaturyan discussed the importance of strengthening Armenia’s nuclear sector in view of the country’s plans to extend the lifetime of its Armenian-2 nuclear power plant and its considerations in building a new conventional reactor or a small modular reactor (SMR).
Today, a quarter of Armenia’s electricity is generated at the Armenian-2 reactor, the country’s only operational commercial nuclear plant.
The 415-MW pressurised water reactor unit, supplied by Russia, was reconnected to the national grid at the end of 2021 after a major retrofitting and refurbishment programme carried out by Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom.
