Russia offers promising nuclear power project to India

Rosatom's press release on Thursday, discussing the expansion of cooperation in non -power generation, other than power generation, said Rosatom's press release. AlEKI LIACHEV, the General Manager of Rozatomskaya General Energy Corporation, and Chairman Adit Kumar Mohar, Chairman of the Indian Nuclear Energy Committee, have organized a negotiation when visiting the TOMSK area SEVERSK location.

During the visit, Rosatom presented the experimental energy demonstration complex to its Indian partners.

This complex is being developed as part of the Breakthrough project, the aim of which is to create a new technological platform for a closed nuclear fuel cycle and to solve problems related to spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste.

According to Rosatom, its goal is to create competitive products that will ensure the leadership of Russian technology in the global nuclear industry. "We are ready to seriously expand our cooperation with India in the field of the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes," Likhachev said.

He said New Delhi is discussing, although not yet publicly announced, the construction of a Russian-designed large-capacity nuclear power plant at a new facility in India, as well as the introduction of land-based and floating small-scale power generation. project. .

The Rosatom chief said the two countries are also discussing cooperation in the field of nuclear fuel cycles and non-energy applications of nuclear technology.

Authorities also discuss the progress of the nuclear power plant in KNPP (KNPP) built in Tamil Nada in southern India. KNPP, the largest nuclear power plant in India, contains six energy units equipped with optical reaction devices, each of which is 1000 MW.

The first two units were connected to the national grid in 2013 and 2016, respectively, and are currently supplying power to the southern region of India.

His remaining four power plants are in various stages of construction and equipment.

In December last year, during Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar's visit to Moscow, the two countries signed an agreement to proceed with the implementation of Units 5 and 6 of the Kudankulam project.

Jaishankar recently pointed out at a press conference in Mumbai that India is looking for "additional sites for Russian nuclear reactors."Likhachev told the media that Russia widely shares the latest technological advances in the nuclear field with India. The two countries also cooperate on projects in third countries, with Rosatom and an Indian company participating in the construction of the Rooppur nuclear power plant in Bangladesh.

The power plant, located about 140km west of Dhaka, is Bangladesh's largest infrastructure project to date and is a key part of the country's plan to phase out coal and other fossil fuels.

Moscow and Dhaka signed several intergovernmental loan agreements worth about $12 billion to finance the project.
