Representatives from interested ministries recently met at the National Press Centre to announce that the nuclear power station is to be a Russian ‘AES-2006’ project, developed by St. Petersburg’s Scientific Research and Design Institute Atomenergoproekt (part of Russia’s Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation).
In September, foundations will be dug; preparations are now underway, with road and rail links being constructed and a production base being formed. The nuclear power station’s first block should launch in 2017, with the second following in 2018.
