en.Wedoany.com Reported - On April 7, Belarusian Energy Minister Moroz stated to reporters during an inspection of the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant that Belarus and Uzbekistan have agreed to deepen cooperation in the field of nuclear energy. Moroz noted that Belarus and Uzbekistan have established a long-term and friendly cooperative relationship based on a shared vision for the future. Uzbekistan's decision to build its own nuclear power plant and join the ranks of nuclear energy nations is a manifestation of this cooperation.

Moroz emphasized that Belarus has traveled a long path since 2008 in the construction and operation of nuclear power plants, accumulating substantial capabilities.

Last year, the Belarusian Ministry of Energy and Uzbekistan's "Uzatom" agency signed a cooperation roadmap, stipulating collaboration and experience exchange between the two sides. Moroz stated that Belarus is willing to openly share its experience in infrastructure construction, talent development, and mastery of new technologies. According to the agreement, experts from both countries regularly exchange views. Currently, an expert delegation led by Uzbekistan's Deputy Prime Minister is conducting consultations in Belarus, examining issues such as nuclear power plant infrastructure construction, personnel training systems, and plant operation.

Moroz stressed that Belarus and Uzbekistan have reached an agreement to deepen cooperation in the nuclear energy sector.

The Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant has a significant impact on the country's energy sector, providing approximately 40% of its electricity consumption. The plant's total power generation has exceeded 58 billion kilowatt-hours, effectively replacing natural gas consumption and easing the financial currency burden. Moroz also looked ahead to future development prospects. He revealed that a decision was made last November to construct a third unit at the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant site. Currently, the Belarusian side is negotiating with Russia's State Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom) on drafting a general framework agreement that will outline the construction process for the new unit. The document is expected to be signed in the near future.

The delegation led by Uzbekistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ramatov visited the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant to learn about the relevant experience of the Belarusian side. Belarusian Deputy Prime Minister Karankevich and the Director of the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant, Bobovich, also participated in the inspection activities.
