Today, Belarus and Russia cooperate not only in nuclear energy industry as such, but also interact in related fields, like development of towns hosting nuclear power plants. “It is great to have an opportunity to share experience, best practices in improving a living environment in such towns, because it is extremely important for Belarus and the Russian Federation to ensure comfortable living conditions for local residents, personnel working at NPPs and their families,” Sergei Bobovich emphasized.
Belarus can learn a lot from Russia, as Russia has developed and implemented a large number of programs in this field. “The roadmaps that will be signed today will facilitate joint movement forward. We hope that our experience of implementing social programs will be extremely useful for Russia, too,” he remarked.

If you come to Ostrovets today, you will see that a lot has already been implemented here, the most comfortable conditions have been created for people, both for employees of the Belarusian NPP and all residents of Ostrovets.
