Business activity. Rosatom took active part in Türkiye’s Nuclear Power Plants 7th Expo and 11th Summit (NPPES 2025) in Istanbul. This year’s NPPES brought together over 1,400 delegates and 212 companies. Speaking at the opening ceremony, Rosatom’s Director for International Business Boris Arseev noted that Rosatom holds roughly 90% of the global market for overseas construction of large nuclear power plants. Esra Songur, Director for Sustainable Development at Akkuyu Nuclear JSC, emphasized the significance of the Akkuyu NPP project for the development of Turkish energy sector and its multiplier effect on the Turkish economy. Rosatom also showcased its advanced large and small-scale nuclear generation products, multifunctional nuclear science and technology centers based on research reactors, and logistics solutions.


Training. A joint school on nuclear knowledge management has concluded at the Moscow branch of Rosatom’s Technical Academy. Organized by Russia and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the event was attended by 26 professionals from 17 countries. The five-day training program focused on practical applications, with trainees analyzing real-world case studies from different countries and working on team projects. The task involved developing a comprehensive knowledge management strategy for a business unit, covering every stage—from drafting project proposals and action plans to developing risk assessment and knowledge retention strategies. On the final day, each team presented and defended its project.

Cooperation. Representatives of China’s Xiapu Nuclear Power Plant visited Russia’s Beloyarsk NPP, which is home to BN-600 and BN-800, two operating fast neutron reactors, both unmatched worldwide in operational longevity. China’s Xiapu is the only nuclear facility outside of Russia with a large fast neutron reactor in operation. The foreign delegation met with the Beloyarsk NPP management and representatives of Rosatom’s mechanical engineering division, the Russian partner in constructing the CFR-600 reactor. The guests explored the technical capabilities of Russian-designed fast neutron reactors and discussed potential cooperation opportunities. Construction of the CFR-600 reactor started in late 2017, with commissioning in late 2023. A second similar unit at the same site is scheduled to start operations in 2026. In Russia, the next sodium-cooled fast neutron reactor will be BN-1200M, to be built at the Beloyarsk NPP.

Youth. The third International Youth Nuclear Forum, Obninsk NEW 2025, took place in Obninsk, Russia. Supported by Rosatom, the event drew over 700 participants attending the forum in person and several thousand more joining it online from partner venues across 70 countries worldwide. Rosatom executives, representatives of ministries and public organizations, international students and young researchers discussed advanced technologies being developed by Rosatom, including nuclear medicine, quantum computers, small modular reactors, closed nuclear fuel cycles, and the synergy between nuclear and hydrogen energy. Another focus of attention was the Obninsk Tech International Science and Education Center for Nuclear and Related Technologies, currently being established with Rosatom’s involvement. The new center will serve as a hub for training nuclear professionals for large-scale energy projects both in Russia and abroad.

Vietnam. Rosatom took part in Expo Eurasia Vietnam, an international industrial conference focused on advancing economic, scientific, technological, cultural and political ties between Russia and Vietnam. A key event of the forum was the plenary session titled “Technological Sovereignty and Industrial Cooperation for Business Growth.” Its participants explored long-term prospects for Russian-Vietnamese cooperation in nuclear medicine, agriculture, digital technologies, and other fields. “We have long been working with Vietnam on nuclear technology, with multiple successful projects already in place. We are committed to continuing this cooperation by offering efficient, safe, and green solutions. They will help Vietnam strengthen its national energy security and also make a significant leap forward in developing industrial production,” said Dmitry Raspopin, head of Rosatom’s country office in Vietnam.

EAEU. Rosatom and its partners from the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states discussed the applications and potential of nuclear technologies in industry and science at the fourth Eurasian Economic Forum held in Minsk. Among the topics addressed was the collaboration involving the use of the Multi-Purpose Fast Neutron Research Reactor (MBIR) currently under construction in Russia. “Even though the reactor is still being built, we are establishing an international research platform that will use its capabilities. More than 20 countries and organizations are already involved, and we are in active negotiations with China, Uzbekistan, and Belarus,” said Vasily Konstantinov, director of international research and technology projects at Rosatom. Vadim Titov, CEO of Rosatom International Network, presented Rosatom’s capabilities and expertise that could serve as a foundation for joint initiatives with EAEU countries. He also noted growing interest in small-scale nuclear power plants based on the Russian-designed RITM-200 reactor.
