The Mechanical Engineering Division of ROSATOM signed a memorandum of understanding with the Republic of Guinea which envisages cooperation on developing floating nuclear power units (FPUs) to supply electricity to Guinea.
Under the reached agreements, ROSATOM and the Republic of Guinea will explore the implementation of floating power units and work on the project’s terms and conditions.
“The cooperation involves joint work on developing a power supply solution both to industrial and domestic consumers in the Republic of Guinea, by deploying floating nuclear power units with RITM-200 reactors, which have already proven efficient. As you know, the power supply issue in the African region is urgent, and our main task is to provide a fast, reliable and environmentally friendly solution for our partners. The signed memorandum supplements the roadmap of Rosatom’s Mechanical Engineering Division for the production of advanced equipment for the new generation of nuclear industry and demonstrates the high global interest in our technology,” said Vladimir Aptekarev, Deputy Head of ROSATOM’s Mechanical Engineering Division.
