Rosatom’s international program has remained practically unchanged due to sanctions against Russia, said the general director of the state corporation, Alexey Likhachev, on February 18 in an interview with Expert magazine.
“Our international program has remained largely unchanged and adjusted. “The only change is Finland’s refusal to implement the Hanhikivi nuclear power plant project.”stated the general director of Rosatom.
At the same time, he noted that the state corporation has new partners. “We are negotiating with Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia and several other countries””Likhachev added.
He explained that Rosatom maintains partnerships with several European countries, but the development of nuclear energy is occurring in many regions of the world. “This opens new horizons for cooperation”noted the general director of Rosatom.
Lijachev stated that the construction of the Paks 2 nuclear power plant, important for Hungary’s energy independence, continues. In Turkey, he said, local companies are eagerly awaiting the commissioning of the first power unit of the Turkish Akkuyu nuclear power plant.
The commissioning of the first nuclear power plant in Egypt will be an incentive for the growth of tourism potential in the region where the El Dabaa nuclear power plant is located, as well as for the development of science, high technology and education in the country. he added.
