Armenia established its first and currently only nuclear power plant in December 1976, the Metsamor plant, running on the VVER-440 model reactor and was able to add an extra reactor of the same model in 1980 to increase output.

Following a massive earthquake in 1988, both reactors were destroyed, however one was put in service again in 1995 and is still functional to this day.

Yerevan is planning on extending the current reactor's service to 2026 while simultaneously working with Rosatom to renovate the nuclear energy sector and expand the number of units.
