Mr Kreivys said in the interview: “The Polish nuclear project, which is being developed under European Union regulations, cannot be compared with the Russian project in Belarus, which raises growing concerns.”
He said Lithuania was not consulted over the deployment of the two-unit Belarusian nuclear station and it is in violation of the Espoo Convention, which requires trans-border consultation on nuclear facilities.
Mr Kreivys raised questions about the independent status of the Belarusian nuclear regulator and said that the Belarusian station had failed 27 stress tests with only a handful of issues having been addressed.

The IAEA’s Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review (INIR) mission took place over 12 days in February and March 2020.
It concluded that Belarus was close to completing the required nuclear power infrastructure for beginning operation of its first nuclear power plant, but needed to improve the legal and regulatory framework to ensure a stable and predictable environment for the programme.
The mission said Belarus needed to improve “institutional arrangements” and finalise remaining arrangements needed for the sustainable operation of the facility.
It also identified good practices including the use of independent peer reviews, cooperation with regulators from other countries, engagement with international stakeholders and emergency preparedness.
