Astravyets (Belarusian: Астравец [astraˈvʲet͡s], Russian: Островец, tr. Ostrovets; IPA: [ɐstrɐˈvʲɛts]) is a city in the Grodno Region of Belarus, an administrative center of the Astravyets District.
On 11 October 2011 an agreement was signed to build Belarus’ first nuclear power plant near the city, using two VVER reactors with active and passive safety systems. The first unit is planned to be completed by 2017.[1] In July 2012 a more detailed contract was agreed to build the two AES-2006 plants in for a cost of about $10 billion.[2]
