Electricity
| 
Lithuania has a nuclear power plant of the same questionable design as the one that popped its rivets in Chernobyl. It’s still gently humming away about 80km north-east of Vilnius, but will be down as a condition of Lithuania’s EU membership. The first of two reactors was shut down as promised at the end of December 2004, and the second must go offline by the end of 2009. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have agreed to join forces and build a new nuclear power plant in Lithuania which should go online by 2015.Regardless of where the electricity is produced, it pours out of European style two-pin sockets at 220V, 50Hz AC. Travellers from outside Europe, or from that strange little island in Europe that still uses big three-prong monster plugs, should bring an adaptor.
