Reference News Network November 11 report - According to the Russia Today website on November 10, Alexei Likhachev, CEO of Rosatom, Russia's state nuclear giant, said that cooperation between Russia and India in the field of nuclear energy is moving to a new level, which may involve a higher level of localization and technology transfer.
The report stated that Likhachev made these remarks during a working meeting in Mumbai with Ajit Kumar Mohanty, head of the Indian Atomic Energy Commission, as both sides evaluated bilateral projects ahead of the summit planned for next month between Russian President Putin and Indian Prime Minister Modi.
Moscow and New Delhi are negotiating new projects. Likhachev said: "In addition to traditional areas, we are discussing small nuclear power plants, including land-based and floating nuclear power plants. This is a unique capability of Rosatom." He pointed out that for the past five years, Russia has been operating a floating nuclear power plant, the "Academician Lomonosov," in the Arctic port city of Pevek.
Likhachev also said that Rosatom sees great potential for significantly increasing the localization of Russian technology in India, especially in small facilities. (Translated by Xu Yanhong)
