Contracts. Rosatom has made its first-ever shipment of nuclear fuel to China’s Xudabao NPP. The nuclear fuel was delivered by the Fuel Division (TVEL) of the Russian nuclear corporation under a fuel supply contract for Xudabao Units 3 and 4, which are being built to a Russian design and will feature Generation III+ VVER-1200 reactors. “Xudabao is a new destination for Russian nuclear fuel supplies. Earlier, we shipped fuel for VVER-1000 and VVER-1200 reactors at the Tianwan NPP, and for China’s experimental fast neutron reactor. And now we are turning another page in the dynamic relations with our Chinese partners. We also plan to manufacture and deliver the initial fuel loadings for two more new VVER-1200 reactors at the Tianwan and Xudabao NPPs by the end of this year,” says Oleg Grigoriev, Senior Vice President for Commerce and International Business at TVEL.

Technologies. Rosatom presented its nuclear energy solutions to the Speaker of the Regional Representative Council of Indonesia. The parties discussed Rosatom’s advanced technologies tailored to the country’s needs, including large-capacity nuclear power plants, small modular reactors, and floating power units. “Possessing extensive experience in international nuclear projects, Rosatom is ready to contribute to ensuring a reliable and sustainable energy supply for Indonesia. We offer a wide range of technologies capable of achieving the country’s diverse goals, from large-capacity nuclear power plants to small modular reactors, including floating power units,” said Anna Belokoneva, Head of Rosatom’s country office in Indonesia.

Cooperation. A Rosatom delegation paid a working visit to Vietnam. As part of the visit, representatives of Giredmet (Rosatom’s Chemical Technology Cluster) and Vinacomin Minerals Holding Corporation had a meeting to discuss cooperation opportunities in the processing of mineral raw materials containing rare and rare-earth elements, as well as titanium-bearing ores. In addition, Dmitry Raspopin, Director of Rosatom’s country office in Vietnam, held a working meeting with the leadership of the Vietnam Petroleum Institute (VPI). “Rosatom is ready to share its international experience and technological capabilities in nuclear energy. We are interested in expanding cooperation with Vietnamese research organizations, including the Vietnam Petroleum Institute, to help the country adopt advanced, safe, and sustainable energy solutions. I am confident that joint scientific research and personnel training will become a solid foundation for the long-term development of the country’s energy sector,” Dmitry Raspopin concluded.
