Russia has announced two significant agreements in its drive to use small modular reactor technology to bring reliable power to isolated areas in the country’s far east.
The first agreement is between Atomflot, a subsidiary of state nuclear corporation, and GDK Baimskaya, controlled by Kazakhstan’s Kaz Minerals Group, for the supply of electricity to the Baimskaya mining and processing plant in Chukotka, in the country’s far northeast.
As part of the agreement, Atomflot will supply four floating power units with an installed capacity of at least 106 MW each to be operated in Naglyongyn, a cape in Chukotka.
