The parties discussed the implementation of the Russian-Turkish Akkuyu NPP project, as well as possible prospects for expanding cooperation.
Regarding the Akkuyu NPP and its current status: the main efforts are focused on preparing for the launch of the first power unit - we are actively conducting full-scale commissioning works, and at the current stage, we are preparing the reactor plant for loading fuel simulators.
He emphasized that it is important for the Turkish authorities to launch nuclear electricity into the country's energy system.
The head of the Turkish Ministry of Energy added that Rosatom specialists and local nuclear scientists are trying to put the first power unit into operation as soon as possible. At the same time, the construction of three other power units is underway.
