• Lack of experience in implementing of projects of such scale
• Underestimates in terms of resources and time schedule
• Lack of understanding and communication between the utility and regulator
• Differences in regulatory and working practices in lithuania and country of technology provider
• Potential loopholes in national legislation
• No experienced project implementation company
• Regulatory and its supporting infrastructure may not be ready in time
• Bottlenecks in supply, not quite completed and approbated technologies
Potential problems

Development of nuclear program
• Low on Nuclear Power Plant was established in 2007• Project Implementation Company Visaginas NPP
was established• EIA finalized in April 2009• The draft concept of Nuclear Safety Law has been
prepared• Nuclear Energy Law is under revision• Regulatory authority VATESI has launched a
revision of nuclear regulations• Nuclear regulatory authority VATESI was reformed,
organizational structure was changed
