Lithuanian concerns not mentioned[edit]

Why are Lithuanian concerns not mentioned at all? Some say (link) that Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, will be close enough to be partially or completely evacuated in a case of an accident at the future plant. Quite notable, imho.--Adûnâi (talk) 14:42, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

date(s) of planned completition ?[edit]

Are there any recent statements ? Maybe the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Belarus retards it. --Neun-x (talk) 03:48, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Astravets Nuclear Power Plant → Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant – Belarusian NPP is the official name of this station - it is used on its official site https://www.belaes.by/en/ and by IAEA https://pris.iaea.org/PRIS/CountryStatistics/CountryDetails.aspx?current=BY Apsrubov (talk) 08:41, 11 November 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. qedk (t 愛 c) 09:26, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. WP articles are not named according to the official names but common names should be preferred. While at the beginning before selection of the site the name "Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant" was a common name, in sources after the site selection the plant is commonly referred in the English language websites as "Astravets Nuclear Power Plant" (taking also into account the spelling variations such as Astravyets or Ostravets). Beagel (talk) 09:06, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- At the moment of writing there are significantly more search results for Belarusian NPP than for Astravets: "Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant" - 57,400 "belarusian npp" - 23,000 while "astravets nuclear power plant" - 14,100 "astravets npp" - 2,970. Which suggests that Belarusian NPP is more widely used. Apsrubov (talk) 09:50, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as I said in my comment Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant was initially the common name; however, for new postings Astravets Nuclear Power Plant is more common. Also recent trends information by Google Trends tends to Astravets. In addition, as I said because of the different transliterations you have to count Astravets, Ostravets, Ostrovets and Astravyets NPPs together versus Belarusian NPP. Beagel (talk) 15:28, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Goolge trends show no preference between Belarusian vs Astravets. From all other variants only Ostravets had any impact. And you can clearly see that your claim about Belarusian NPP beeing outdated variant is false, as is it still actively used. From what I can see Astravets variant is mostly used in Lithuanian sources. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=Belarusian%20Nuclear%20Power%20Plant,Astravets%20Nuclear%20Power%20Plant,Ostrovets%20Nuclear%20Power%20Plant,Astravyets%20Nuclear%20Power%20Plannt,Ostravets%20Nuclear%20Power%20Plant Apsrubov (talk) 18:41, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
