Două reactoare nucleare ca cel care a explodat la Cernobîl trebuie dezasamblate în Europa. Provocări uriașe, fără precedent - Economica.net

Lithuania is pioneering the dismantling of the Ignalina nuclear power plant, facing unprecedented technical challenges. This project aims to provide valuable insights for future global nuclear decommissioning efforts. The plant, built during the Soviet era, operated two RBMK-1500 reactors and was shut down in 2009 to mitigate safety risks. The dismantling process requires custom robotic equipment to safely remove highly contaminated reactor cores. Additionally, Lithuania has raised concerns about safety issues at the nearby Belarusian Astravets nuclear plant, emphasizing the need for transparency and adherence to safety standards. The ongoing diplomatic tensions highlight the importance of international cooperation in nuclear safety.
