The working meeting was also attended by representatives of the Armatom SRI CJSC. The visit agenda included issues related to current projects, implemented under the support of the U.S. Department of State, and future cooperation.

Currently a project aimed at implementation of a full-scope simulator is being implemented with co-funding from the American side. Active and efficient steps are being taken to complete the project. Particular emphasis should be put on the role and significance of the FSS in organization of the NPP operating personnel training to ensure fail-safe and normal operation of Unit 2.

During the meeting other key issues related to the further operation of the ANPP were also discussed, namely the construction of a new spent fuel dry storage module, the issues of radwaste temporary storage, etc.

During the FSS room walk-down the visitors got acquainted with the scopes of the simulator modernization work performed. Based on the results, the parties expressed their hope that the FSS would be put into operation on time.
