Steam rises from the cooling towers of Metsamor nuclear power station in Armenia on Friday, Jan 22, 2021. It is one of the last old operating Soviet reactors built without containment vessels, its location in a seismic zone has drawn renewed attention since Japan's earthquake-and-tsunami-triggered crisis. Nuclear Engineering International reported on January 18 that Armenia plans to extend the service life of its five-decade-old nuclear power plant in Metsamor after 2026 and has not abandoned plans to build a new plant.
