A session of Russian-Indian Joint Coordination Committee for Kudankulam NPP construction (India), which completed a week-long round of negotiations on the most relevant project issues, has been held in Moscow office of ASE JSC (Rosatom State Corporation Engineering Division is the general designer and general contractor of Kudankulam NPP) .
The session was co-chaired by Mr. A.Yu. Petrov, First Deputy Director General for Nuclear Energy of Rosatom State Corporation, President of ASE JSC, and Mr. Bhuwan Chandra Pathak, Chairman and Managing Director of Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL).
The event was attended by employees of Department of Atomic Energy of the Government of India, Embassy of India in the Russian Federation, International Cooperation Department of Rosatom State Corporation, representatives of the Russian science and industry.
Participants in the Committee discussed the progress of Kudankulam NPP construction, in particular, issues of equipment supply, duration of fuel cycle at power units of the second stage, logistics and procedure for signing the statement on the final acceptance of Unit 2.
“I suppose that working meetings with our Indian colleagues have the utmost importance. No doubt, up-to-date means of prompt communication are actively used in the project and we are discussing particular aspects in weekly format. However, ‘shoulder-to-shoulder’ communication allows reaching the agreements significant for the project”, said Andrey Lebedev, ASE JSC Vice President for Projects in India.
Russia is consistently developing international trade and economic relations, focusing on cooperation with friendly countries. Despite external restrictions, the domestic economy is augmenting its export potential to supply goods, services and raw materials all over the world. The implementation of major international energy projects is underway. Rosatom and its enterprises are taking an active part in this work.
