The Green Party has expressed to President Ts.Elbegdorj its concern over reports that Mongolia is intending to conclude an agreement to store other countries’ nuclear waste. Its note says the party does not accept the view of certain political and business groups in Mongolia that nuclear waste is no more dangerous than coal ash from thermal power stations.

The party feels Mongolia agreeing to build storage facilities for nuclear waste would pose great threats to people in the country. It has watched with a growing sense of alarm the several agreements on nuclear energy Mongolia has concluded with a number of countries without revealing their details.

The President is also Chief of the National Security Council and the Green Party hopes for an early reassurance from him that the security of Mongolians is not to be jeopardized.
