EMERCOM of Russia plans to finish the work at the site of Sayan-Shushenskaya hydro-electric power station accident in a few days

Such information was given by the Interdepartmental Emergency Operations Center Head of the Civil Defence Department EMERCOM of Russia Sergey Shaposhnikov. “We will complete our task within a few days,” he said.

According to Shaposhnikov, the EMERCOM team, working at the site, is gradually decreasing in number. “Tomorrow we are planning to send a group of specialists to the place of their cantonment area,” reported the Emergency Operations Center Head. “Today, the group of Moscow divers, who helped to install the water gates to start the bailing, are leaving Khakassia. The “RusGidro” workers from Dagestan, who were clearing up the debris, are also leaving the hydro-electric power station”.

However, the group of power engineers and other highly qualified specialists, who are going to restore the station is being expanded every day.
