The Akoyo nuclear power plant is scheduled to come online in January-February 2027, CEO of the Russian state corporation Rosatom Alexei Lichchev told reporters.
"We are not only in the home layout, we are right at the finish line in everything related to the start of the order work at the Akoyo factory. We expect approval to begin hot functional testing within the next few hours," Lichchev said.
"I look forward to the successful completion of these tests, and the loading of real fuel into the first reactor vessel will begin as early as December. In January-February, Turkey will receive the long-awaited nuclear power," added the CEO.
