\u201cThe agreement with the United States government that we have signed [on November 26th, 2024] allows us to get more technical cooperation and get ready for deployment of those small modular reactors. We will be receiving assistance in selecting what type of technology is optimal for us, so I think this will be win-win cooperation because we are not newcomers in the nuclear world\u2026It was important to put Lithuania on the map for countries that will be developing nuclear generation.\u201d \u2014 Lithuania Vice Minister Albinas Zananavi\u010dius<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Episode 473 of District of Conservation, Gabriella interviews Albinas Zananavi\u010dius \u2013 Lithuanian Vice Minister of Energy \u2013 on the newly-signed intergovernmental agreement between Lithuania and the US to shore up Lithuania\u2019s civil nuclear program.
