Likhachyov added in press statements that “construction work in China is progressing ahead of schedule. Operations have begun at Khudabao and Tianwan on the first units (of the new units under construction), and everything is proceeding according to the designated timeline. In India, the third unit (of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant) is scheduled to begin operation by mid-next year, and we look forward to the fourth unit starting by 2027. With Rosatom’s participation, units 7 and 8 are being constructed at the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant, and units 3 and 4 at the Khudabao Nuclear Power Plant in China. The new units at the Tianwan plant are set for operation between 2026-2027, and the Khudabao plant units between 2027-2028.
During the ‘Russian Digital Industry’ conference in Nizhny Novgorod, Likhachyov presented Rosatom’s projects to Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, which utilize local digital developments. Likhachyov stated, “Among the unique projects is the construction of a fourth-generation nuclear power plant in Seversk (Tomsk region)… In 2030, we will launch a fast nuclear reactor with a capacity of 300 megawatts, the world’s first fourth-generation energy complex.”
