Rosatom confirms plans to complete Akkuyu's first unit by 2023
Rosatom is increasing its overseas order book faster than expected and is confident it can continue to expand abroad, Komarov added.
Last week, Akkuyu Nuclear, the project’s company, received a license to generate electricity for 49 years. This summer the company expects to obtain a permit for the construction of the so-called non-nuclear part of the plant, for example, the turbine island, auxiliary buildings and facilities. Akkuyu Nuclear expects to receive the main license in 2018.
