Strategy. According to Rosatom Chief Alexey Likhachev, Rosatom has long been present in Russia’s Far East and is willing to expand its projects in the region. Speaking at a session of the Eastern Economic Forum, he highlighted that the world’s only floating nuclear power plant Akademik Lomonosov had been put in operation in Chukotka not long before and that this unparalleled technology had aroused customer interest. “In addition to the construction of four floating nuclear power units for the Baimsky GOK mining site, we see demand for another 15 floating reactors in the Arctic. The region offers prospects for building both on-shore small modular reactors and large nuclear power plants,” Alexey Likhachev noted.
