The State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom has announced its readiness to cooperate with India in the development of a floating nuclear power plant.

Floating nuclear power plants use technologies from ship-based nuclear power installations and are considered promising for the power supply of islands and industrial facilities in remote areas. Despite the high cost of electricity, such stations can provide a stable energy supply where the construction of traditional power plants is difficult.

Experts note that cooperation between Russia and India in this area could open up new opportunities for regional development and strengthen the energy security of the region's countries. In addition, the experience of joint design and operation of such facilities will allow both parties to improve technological and engineering competencies in the field of nuclear energy.

Earlier www1.ru reported that Rosatom is resuming the "Bolshoi Elkon" project to provide the country with uranium for centuries.
