The Armenian Nuclear Power Plant was disconnected from the power system this morning. This did not cause any deflection from the norms of nuclear and radioactive security, said the head of the RA State Atomic Energy Commission Ashot Martirosyan. He confirmed that a breakdown took place in the Armenian energy system today. "It has not been clarified yet whether the ANPP disconnected over a breakdown or the breakdown was caused by the disconnection of the plant from the power system," he said adding that there is no emergency situation and the technical security is ensured.

To note, this morning the center of Yerevan was de-energized and a number of enterprises suspended work.
