Cooperation. Rosatom took part in the World Nuclear Spotlight Kazakhstan, an international conference organized by the World Nuclear Association and the Kazakhstan Ministry of Energy. Speaking at the conference, Kirill Komarov, First Deputy Director General for Development and International Business at Rosatom, expressed confidence that nuclear energy would underpin low-carbon generation on the global scale. He noted that Rosatom was offering its partners a full range of technology solutions to achieve climate goals. “Rosatom is Russia’s largest producer of low-carbon electric energy, providing about a fifth of the total electricity generated in the country. Rosatom has evolved to churn out nuclear solutions and become a global leader in new build as 22 power reactors out of 25 in development worldwide are being built by Rosatom,” Kirill Komarov said.

Innovation. Rosatom has obtained an operation license for the world’s first production line for innovative mixed uranium-plutonium nitride (MUPN) fuel. The fuel fabrication and refabrication unit is the first facility of the experimental power plant (abbreviated ODEK in Russian) constructed as part of the Proryv (Breakthrough) Project. Other facilities under construction at ODEK include a Generation IV lead-cooled fast neutron reactor BREST-OD-300 and a reprocessing facility for irradiated fuel. When completed, ODEK will be the first ever nuclear power plant to integrate a fast neutron reactor and on-site facilities for closing the nuclear fuel cycle.

Reporting. Rosatom’s consolidated financial statements for 2023 were reviewed by auditors. Consolidated revenue of Rosatom Group increased 44.8% in the reporting year.  In 2023, the Russian nuclear corporation paid a total of RUB 443.1bn (USD 4.7bn) in taxes, up 52.1% year-on-year.  Total assets of Rosatom Group grew 24.8%. The key financial stability and liquidity indicators speak for the soundness of its financial position.
