"The formal date is July 11. Probably, a day earlier or a day later. [July] 11 is as scheduled," Lokshin said.
"All the possible and, as I can say, impossible situations, including related to developments at the Fukushima [NPP] were addressed" in the NPP project, he noted. "I believe nothing can match this project in terms of safety," the top manager added.
