CEO of RosAtom state-run corporation Sergey Kiriyenko said that Russia
expects to become a co-owner of a nuclear power plant in Armenia.
RosAtom launches “new instruments”, which have not been applied
earlier, Kiriyenko told journalists in Moscow. He also noted that the
corporation’s contract for construction of a nuclear power plant in
Turkey is unique. “For the first time ever we will be an owner of a
nuclear power plant in another country – we will not only construct
it, but will own and operate it for 60 years as well,” Kiriyenko said.
He added that negotiations at a similar level are conducted also with
other countries, including Armenia and Bulgaria, EnergoNews reported.
“We expect not only to construct a nuclear power plant, but also
to become an investor,” he said, adding that Russia intends to join
a new investment package with the Bulgarian government, envisaging
construction of a nuclear power plant in Belene.
