Mr. Šíma noted that Czech suppliers were long-standing, reliable partners of Rosatom in many projects both in and outside Russia. According to him, Rosatom expects Czech partners to participate in new projects, including Hanhikivi-1, Paks-2 and Akkuyu. All these nuclear plants will be equipped with the most advanced Generation 3+ units based on VVER-1200 reactors. “Rosatom closely cooperates with the Czech Energy Alliance that unites leading nuclear engineering companies of the Czech Republic. This cooperation is based on the memorandum of understanding signed by Rosatom and the Alliance last June. The Alliance is able to make a comprehensive offer for equipment supplies from the Czech Republic to Rosatom’s facilities and, more importantly, assist in providing export finance for such deliveries,” Mr. Šíma noted.
