Russia’s state nuclear corporation-Rosatom’s foreign order portfolio to date comprises 20 nuclear power reactors and construction of 40 more reactors is under discussion with various countries. This was informed by Sergey Kirienko, Director General of Rosatom during his meeting with Vladimir Putin, President of Russia on January 9, 2014. “After Fukushima we have doubled the number of orders and this happened when the market was down in general. Forty more contracts are under consideration” Sergey Kirienko said. S. Kirienko elaborated on the new nuclear power units construction contracts in China and India. In China the Russian specialists have already built two reactors of Tianwan nuclear power plant. “Having seen how they operate Chinese partners have elected to continue the cooperation. It is important for us because China itself is capable to build nuclear reactors. America and France are building nuclear reactors in China as well. Despite the tough competition in China market we have received orders for constructing two more nuclear power units and the work has already been started,” he added. Negotiation is under way on building of new units at Kudankulam NPP in India. “The Indian Government is finally settling the issue of civil liability for damage. We submitted a revised proposal and expecting a positive response soon,” Kirienko informed. Rosatom has signed contract for constructing four nuclear power units at a single site in Vietnam. “Vietnamese partners are willing to increase the number of sites,” he said. In Turkey the preparatory work nears completion. “The licensing has been completed, the plant designing process was also finished December last year, and the project is being submitted to the regulatory authorities.” Kirienko informedhttp://energybangla.com/2014/01/11/21023.html   More at: http://energybangla.com/2014/01/11/21023.html#.UtGtKRmENDQ
