Technologies. Rosatom presented its innovative technological solutions at the Africa Energy Indaba held in Cape Town, South Africa. Ryan Collyer, CEO of Rosatom Central and Southern Africa, highlighted the potential of floating power unit (FPU) technology for energy-deficient regions: “Floating power units offer an optimal solution: mobility, scalability, and sufficient electricity generation, while minimising the use of adjacent land. In 2024, Rosatom announced the development of FPU technology for tropical climates, which will meet the specific needs of the African continent”. Special emphasis was also placed on the construction of advanced large-scale nuclear power plants, including Egypt’s El Dabaa NPP, the first nuclear power plant being built by Rosatom in Africa. “Rosatom is committed to responsible project implementation, strengthening local supply chains, advancing national competencies, and contributing to long-term socio-economic development in countries where we operate” emphasised Director of Rosatom Country Office in Egypt Murad Aslanov.

Training. Future instructors of the Paks II NPP have continued their training at the Leningrad II. NPP. The would-be instructors will master switching operations in the main control room (MCR) and practice normal operation modes, as well as design-basis and beyond-design-basis accidents, using a full-scale simulator. Each trainee will take on the role of shift supervisor, demonstrating their grasp of theoretical knowledge and team management skills. The training will last for a month and conclude with a final exam. “Having qualified instructors allows us to proceed with recruiting key operating personnel for the Paks II NPP in a timely manner. Jobs will be created for several thousand highly qualified specialists. The Russian party provides comprehensive support to our Hungarian partners in developing training materials, organizing the training process, and equipping the training center,” noted Vladislav Smolsky, Head of the Customer Personnel Training Center for the Paks II NPP at the Hungarian office of AtomStroyExport (ASE).
