On October 23, 2013 in Recreation center of Roslavlya passed the round table on discussion of an environmental impact assessment preliminary materials (EIA) of again entered objects on the address with radioactive waste and the fulfilled nuclear fuel of the Smolensk nuclear power plant.

Specialists of JSC «Atomenergoproekt», JSC «Rosenergoatom» Concern, the Smolensk nuclear power plant, representatives of administration and the public of the Roslavlsky area took part in it.

The meeting took place in a framework of preparation for public hearings on an environmental impact assessment (EIA) which will pass in Roslavl on October 25.

Reports were made by specialists of JSC «Atomenergoproekt» who gave detailed project characteristics of the objects planned to commissioning on the Smolensk nuclear power plant: complex on conversion of radioactive waste, an annex of storage of the fulfilled nuclear fuel and storage of container type.

As it was noted on the round table, commissioning of these objects is necessary for further increase of level of safety of power units of the Smolensk nuclear power plant. They will make existing system of the address with Russian joint stock company and OYaT of nuclear station even more reliable and ecologically safe, will allow to prepare radioactive waste and spent fuel for further transportation in specialized storages and conversion plants. Besides, the construction of these objects will favorably affect an economic situation in the region: their commissioning will create new workplaces, including for inhabitants of Roslavlya.

As the deputy chief engineer of the Smolensk nuclear power plant for radiation protection Igor Krasnov emphasized, concerns concerning construction of new objects according to the address from Russian joint stock company and OYaT are groundless.
