Along with offering relatively cheap reactors, Rosatom uses the Chernobyl disaster to its advantage. “Who understands the importance of nuclear safety better than the country that has experienced the largest nuclear disaster?” says the newspaper. “The company has signed nuclear construction contracts worth 100 million US dollars.

Contracts have been signed with Egypt and Argentina; nuclear stations are planned to be constructed in South Africa and Jordan.
