Lithuania Agitates Against Russian Nuclear Projects
While Lithuania’s concerns over the plants in Kaliningrad and Belarus involve more than safety and environmental issues, the Japanese crisis does give Lithuania an opportunity to speak out against Belarus and Russia when the European Union, and major European players such as Germany, may be more willing to listen.
The Russian-Belarusian nuclear power plant project, estimated to have a capacity of 2.4 gigawatts (GW) and set to be commissioned in 2018, has been a controversial topic given that the project was signed between Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in the midst of the Japanese nuclear disaster.
