The Lithuanian side believes that BelAES violates security by all criteria. The Cabinet of Ministers of Lithuania decided that the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant (BelAES) being built approximately 50 kilometers from Vilnius (in the Belarusian Island) represents a threat to national security. This is reported by the portal Delfi. The Government proposes that the Seimas recognize the BelAES as unsafe, representing, by virtue of its geographical position, a threat to the national security of Lithuania, the environment and human health. "The interests of national security and people are the most important. The position of Lithuania on the BelAES is clear and principled - the construction of BelAES can not continue. From the very beginning, this construction is accompanied by serious violations and incidents, neither the requirements of nuclear safety nor international environmental requirements have been observed and are still being observed, "said Lithuanian Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis. According to the Government of Lithuania, BelAES violates national interests and security by all criteria: geographic location and suitability of the selected construction site, technological features, ensuring nuclear safety, compliance with international safety and environmental requirements, interstate cooperation. "The completed assessment states that Belarus did not provide any evidence that when choosing a construction site for a nuclear power plant, which is located only 40 km from Vilnius, the population of Lithuania, its distribution and other factors that have Significance in the event of a nuclear or radiological accident at BelAES, "the report said.. Let's remind, the Russian corporation Rosatom builds BelAES in 50 km from Vilnius. The Lithuanian side has repeatedly stated that the work is carried out with violations of safety and environmental standards. Minsk denies these claims.
