ST. PETERSBURG — Argentina is planning in June to conduct a tender for nuclear power plant construction, Rosatom deputy chief Kirill Komarov told the Atomex-North-West conference Tuesday.
"In June, Argentina will announce a nuclear power plant construction tender, in which Rosatom is also planning to participate," Komarov said.
As of March 2011, total orders for Rosatom stood at 142 billion rubles ($5 billion), almost 90 billion rubles, or more than 60 percent, of which is from enterprises in the Northwest Federal District, Komarov said. He said 10 power blocks are now being built in Russia, as well as five blocks overseas.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
