“The people working at nuclear objects and people working nearby have more diseased than others. This is a known fact,” said Hakob Sanasaryan, the Chairman of Greens Union of Armenia, “if you get the radio locator, you will se the bluish pole in the distance of 50 km from the nuclear station, in a diameter of about 1 km. These are radioactive isotopes.”
H. Sanasarayn raised the issue of constructing a new nuclear station. “Instead of an out-of-date reactor, they want to construct a new reactor with a capacity of 1060 Mw. Metsamor is located 18 km far away from Yerevan in direct line. Fukusima reactor is located 230 km far away from Tokyo in direct line. But in this case as well, people left Tokyo.” The people in Metsamot have no a hospital. While the clinic located in the town center was transferred to the building of the former hospital. People have to get treatment in Yerevan, i.e. the people living near this hazardous object, ANPP, are deprived of any normal medical treatment. Despite the statement made by the State Committee on Regulating Nuclear Safety, that the radiation background in the territory of the ANPP and its adjacent territories complies with the standard, many of the residents are concerned with the radiation background in their residence. Hakob Sanasaryan doesn’t trust in the official information, “Radiation is radiation, while people are people,” he said, “the problem is whether or not people are worth chicken? This is the problem, in the approach.”
