4.1 Alternate sites for construction of NPP
Initially there were 74 variants of possible sites for NPP. Later 20 of them were
excluded because they were within forbidden factors determined by the main requirements
to NPP sites. So, 54 sites were analyzed on the basis of budget and archive
materials [22, 23].
To make the research works on the sites shorter committee of experts was created
which determined on the basis of hydrological, seismotectonic, ecological, airmeteorological,
radiological, engineering and geological factors studying three most
perspective variants for detailed analysis:
– Bykhov (Mogilev region);
– Schklov-Goretsk (Mogilev region);
– Ostrovetsk (Grodno region).
In 2006-2008 in these points three sites were determined:
– Krasnopolyana site (Bykhov point);
– Kukshinovsk site (Schklov-Goretsk point);
– Ostrovetsk site (Ostrovetsk point).
In these sites researches were carried out in order to choose a site for construction
of NPP.
By the results of researches for comparison of sites all data was gathered in tables
3 – 5 [24] for comparison of sites.
