Akkuyu NPP issues resolved in Turkey - Rosatom

The construction of the Akkuyu NPP has stayed on track, general director of the Rosatom state corporation Alexey Likhachev said.

According to the head of the Russian nuclear industry, this was possible in large part due to the personal efforts of the presidents of Russia and Turkey, Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

"Thanks primarily to the personal attention and support of our presidents, both Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Mr. Erdogan, the project is moving forward and has not stopped for a minute, neither during the difficult years of the pandemic, nor in the last three years of this sanctions war," Alexey Likhachev said.

The CEO of Rosatom also said that the company is in the process of signing agreements with India and Turkey on new nuclear power plants.
