A repository for radioactive waste — primarily from Belarus’ nuclear power plant in Astraviec — is planned to be built by the early 2030s.
According to Belarusian Energy Minister Dzianis Maroz, a final decision on the construction site has not yet been made. However, locations in the Mahilioŭ, Homiel and Hrodna regions are being considered.
Belarus’ Mahilioŭ region borders Russia, the Homiel region borders Ukraine, while the Hrodna region borders Lithuania and Poland.
It is in the Hrodna region that Belarus’ nuclear power plant was built — a project that raised concerns in Lithuania even during the construction phase.
