In Belarus, one of the units of the new nuclear power plant had to be shut down
“During the pilot operation, the protection system of Unit 1 is turned on, systems and equipment are inspected. Background radiation around the power plant is normal,” the ministry said. The facility near Astravjec in the north of the country was inaugurated last November by President Alexander Lukashenko, then had to be closed shortly thereafter and finally restarted almost two weeks later.
