Putin ready to sponsor Belarus nuclear power plant

Russia's PM Vladimir Putin has signaled Russia's readiness to issue a loan for Belarus to build its first nuclear power plant. Putin spoke to reporters after talks with Belarusian counterpart Mikhail Myasnikovich in Moscow on Thursday.

He estimated the power plant project at some 6 bn dollars and urged Belarus to overcheck whether the Russian-calculated cost is economically grounded.

Putin noted that the nuclear power plant project is essential for Belarus as it provides for the country's energy independence and even for an export potential.
