Belarus invited the IPPAS International Atomic Energy Agency's nuclear security mission, Deputy Energy Minister of Belarus Mikhail Mikhaduk told today at a briefing on the results of the IAEA mission to comprehensively assess the development of the national nuclear energy infrastructure (INIR 3), BelTA has learned.

“We voluntarily requested the mission (IPPAS. – BelTA’s note). Previously, these issues and some aspects were discussed during the current INIR 3 mission,” Mikhail Mikhaduk noted.

According to him, Belarus intends to continue cooperation with the IAEA in the implementation of the national nuclear energy program. “As for further cooperation, we don’t refuse and will not refuse any instrument offered by the IAEA. Because the agency has collected a “hub” of all world knowledge in the field of nuclear energy, this is very important for us,” the deputy minister emphasized.

Mikhail Chudakov, Deputy Director General, Head of the IAEA Department of Nuclear Energy, confirmed that Belarusian side sent a letter on the next mission to the agency’s director general, Rafael Grossi. This mission in Belarus will be included in the IAEA work plan for 2021.
