Between October 12th and October 16th experts of the Moscow center of the World Association of Nuclear Operators have completed the final stage of the prelaunch inspection of the first unit of the Belarusian nuclear power plant.

The WANO specialists examined actions of various shifts of the nuclear power plant personnel on a full-scale simulator of the reactor unit's central control room during scenarios that simulated normal operation, breakdowns, and emergencies. In addition the experts evaluated how the Belarusian nuclear power plant had adopted 70 recommendations as a result of WANO's Significant Operating Experience Reports.

In the course of observation, interviews, and perusal of documents the experts did not find any shortcomings that may stand in the way of the safe launch of the first unit of the Belarusian nuclear power plant. The final report of the expert team will be forwarded to the management of the Belarusian nuclear power plant by the end of the year 2020.
