FILE - In this Friday, Aug. 7, 2020 file photo, personnel work to begin loading nuclear fuel at Belarus' first nuclear plant which was built by Russia's state nuclear corporation Rosatom, near Astravets, Belarus. Belarus’ first nuclear power plant has started operating, a project that has spooked its neighbor Lithuania. The Russia-built Astravyets nuclear power plant, 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of the Lithuanian capital Vilnius began generating electricity on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020 according to the Belarusian electricity operator Belenergo. Lithuanian authorities long have opposed the plant’s construction, arguing that the project has been plagued by accidents, stolen materials and mistreatment of workers.
