US assesses feasibility of building small nuclear reactors in Armenia

Maria Longi, coordinator of U.S. Assistance to Europe and Eurasia, said that the U.S. is assessing the feasibility of building small modular nuclear reactors in Armenia.

“In a number of countries, including Armenia, we are assessing the feasibility of small modular nuclear reactors – built with U.S. technology – that could facilitate greater energy
independence from both Russia and the PRC,” Longi said during the hearings at the House Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. Congress.
