– Even the most modern coal-fueled plant is not as ecologically safe as NPP

For the time being the stopped ADE-5 reactor of Siberian Group of Chemical Enterprises will be substituted by modernized Seversk Thermal Power Plant.

Jointly with IAEA experts, we have compared the ecological risks of different power plants. The research has shown that even the most modern coal-fuelled plant is not as ecologically safe as a nuclear power plant.
