The Metsamor Nuclear Power Plant, located in Armenia, is a significant energy facility comprising two VVER reactors. Originally commissioned in 1976 and 1980, the plant faced safety concerns leading to both reactors being shut down in 1988 due to fears of seismic vulnerability. However, one reactor was successfully restarted in 1995 to address severe electricity shortages that Armenia experienced during a tumultuous period marked by conflicts and energy crises
