Radioactive wastes won't leave Lithuania - PM

Published: 11 August 2005 y., Thursday

 On Tuesday Prime Minister Algirdas Brazauskas has visited Ignalina nuclear power plant after a its stop as a result of a mistake of one of plant's workers.

Radioactive wastes from the Ignalina nuclear power plant in Lithuania will not be taken out of the country, Prime Minister said while visiting the plant. "The Lithuanian state is responsible for the storage and disposal of the radioactive wastes, and therefore it must think where they will be buried," the government press service quoted Brazauskas as saying.

A site for burying the wastes has not yet been designated and this problem should be resolved within the next few years, the premier said.
