  IAEA to monitor Armenian nuclear plant in May April 20, 2011 - 10:25 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will monitor the Armenian nuclear power plant in May. “This monitoring is a regular measure which has nothing to do with Azerbaijan’s request for a detailed examination of the plant,” Armenian Deputy Energy Minister Areg Galstyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. “The IAEA mission will check the work of the operating power generating unit and examine security at the site,” he said. “This procedure is held at all nuclear plants periodically.”   Top stories Yerevan has dismissed Turkey’s demand to shut down the Armenian nuclear power plant as “inappropriate”.
