The Expert Council for Sustainable Development of Rosatom State Corporation approved a pilot project of the Engineering Division for sustainable development of the El-Dabaa NPP construction project (Egypt).
The project will be implemented in two directions: “Sustainable supplies” and “Sustainable communications”.
The Expert Council chaired by Kirill Komarov, the First Deputy Director General - Director of Rosatom State Corporation Development and International Business unit, approved an action plan and members of work groups for communications and supplies.
Activity in the “Sustainable supplies” direction started from analysis of Russian and international practices related to the requirements of the sustainable supplies system, and activity in “Sustainable communications” direction - from establishment of key stakeholders and a procedure for interaction with them, as well as indicators for reporting on the sustainable development of the Egyptian project.
Mr. Grigory Sosnin, JSC ASE EC Vice President - Director for El-Dabaa NPP Construction Project, pointed out that Project is being implemented in a country committed to the UN sustainable development goals, thus implementation and development of sustainable development practices is significant for the project implementation assurance. According to Mr. Sosnin, a system approach to interactions with all contracting and subcontracting organizations, as well as to the system sustainable supplies will be developed and implemented within the scope of implementation of sustainable development principles. In the long term, practices of the sustainable supplies system will be extended to other NPP construction projects.
The Engineering Division assigns a high priority to sustainable development and intends to extend this activity to other work sites.
For information:
On July 27, 2020 Rosatom State Corporation approved the Unified Industry Sustainable Development Policy. The document is mainly aimed at structuring and alignment of activities in the field of sustainable development of the nuclear industry. The document declares the position of the State Corporation and its organizations regarding sustainable development issues, including goals, objectives and basic principles of activity in this area. The priority areas are six of 17 sustainable development goals of the United Nations organization, including “Affordable and clean energy”, “Climate action” and “Responsible consumption and production”.
For reference: The Rosatom State Corporation Engineering Division unites the leading nuclear companies, such as: JSC ASE EC (Nizhny Novgorod), JSC Atomstroyexport (Moscow), JSC Atomenergoproekt (Moscow) and JSC ATOMPROEKT (Saint-Petersburg) and others.
The Engineering Division is the leader in terms of project portfolio and the amount of NPP projects that are constructed abroad simultaneously.
About 80% of the Division's income are accounted for by foreign projects.
The Engineering Division implements design and construction projects for high-power NPPs both in Russia and abroad, renders a full range of EPC, EPC(M) services including project management and designing and develops Multi-D technologies for management of complex engineering facilities. The Engineering Division rests upon the record of achievement of the nuclear power industry in Russia and innovative state-of-the-art technologies. We construct reliable and safe NPPs with 3+Gen VVER reactors that are in line with all international requirements and recommendations.
