GLOBAL POST/
After 26 years, Lithuania's Ignalina nuclear power plant located near the Estonian border was shutdown. Its closure was a condition for joining the EU in 2004 because Ignalina's RBMK design was similar to the reactor that blew up at the Chernobyl facility in Ukraine in 1986 -- even though Ignalina produced between 70 and 80 percent of the nation's energy. Now Russia will control the Lithuania's energy future.
