All nuclear objects in the Kola Peninsula have an efficient security system, Governor Dmitriyenko said after a meeting with representatives of authorities managing regional nuclear objects.
-Russian standards on radiation protection are far stricter than in other countries, Dmitriyenko underlines in a press release. –Problems similar to the ones in the Fukushima power plant were resolved already in the development phase of our domestic NPPs, he adds.
Dmitriyenko still confirms that a new round of special inspection of the regional nuclear objects will be made in the near future.
