All the problems that existed due to Western sanctions at the Turkish Akkuyu NPP have been resolved. And this was done thanks to the presidents of the two countries. This was stated by the head of Rosatom Alexey Likhachev.
"Thanks, first and foremost, to the personal attention and support of our presidents — and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Mr. Erdogan, the project is moving forward and has not stood up for a minute, neither in the difficult years of the pandemic, nor in the last three years of this sanctions war," the head of the Russian state corporation said, RIA Novosti reports.
Alexey Likhachev recalled that Western opponents were hitting in all directions — both in logistics, and in financing, and in the supply of equipment to the Akkuyu NPP, which is being built by Rosatom.
"You know this story about the freeze, but in fact, strictly speaking, this is actually the appropriation of our two billion dollars. This is the refusal of Siemens to supply an integrated switchgear. All these issues have been resolved. Maybe life will put new questions in front of us, but we will also solve them, as we solved the problem, including offsets," the head of Rosatom added.
As EADaily reported, Akkuyu NPP is being built on the Mediterranean coast. The plant will consist of four VVER-1200 reactors and will be the first in Turkey. It is expected that the first unit will be put into commercial operation next year. Rosatom will also operate the station. Bloomberg reported that the Russian state corporation wants to sell 49% of the project.
