There is only one Nuclear Power Plant in Lithuania. It is situated in the North-East of Lithuania near the borders of Latvia and Belarus, on the bank of Dr k iai Lake Almost all workers of the NPP live in Visaginas, a town built for services of the NPP Initially, there were plans to build 4 water-cooled graphitemoderated channel type reactors RBMK-1500 with electric power of 1500 MW each. However, only 2 of them were completed and operated That time Ignalina NPP has been producing about 80% of the total electricity production in Lithuania

Future strategy
Lithuania in ~2030 should start selection of a site for geological repository
if international practice is the same there is no new advanced technologies applicable
In addition, possibilities to prolong storage time in the storage containers are to be investigated
