Russia is ensuring China’s global leadership positions in nuclear energy

▪️ Russia is expanding traditional cooperation with China in the sphere of the nuclear fuel cycle, ensuring the country’s world leadership in the volume of nuclear generation, Rosatom head Alexey Likhachev stated.
▪️ “China, including thanks to our technologies, is confidently moving into second place in the world both in installed nuclear capacity and in generation,” he said.
▪️ Serial construction of units of Russian design for the PRC continues, where the key innovative direction will be the creation of a fourth-generation fast-neutron reactor. Currently four power units of Russian design are operating stably in China, and another one was connected to the grid at the beginning of October, the head of Rosatom emphasized.
