Rosatom talks about supplying dense nuclear power plants to African countries - Reuters Rosatom can supply dense nuclear power plants to coastal African countries, and is in advanced stage negotiations with at least four countries, senior company officials said at the Russia-Africa summit. Vladimir Apitakirov, deputy head of Rosatom's engineering division, said 38 of more than 50 African countries have enough coastline to house a Russian-made floating power unit. Today, only one floating nuclear power plant is operated in the world - in Chukotka. It was put into operation in 2020. Nuclear power plants are equipped with smaller reactors, housed in housing that can be fitted for their purpose, and require less ground infrastructure. In addition, they allow you to quickly and inexpensively provide a new source of energy. "As a first step, the floating power unit can serve as a good starting point, allowing the country to meet its energy needs and join the club of nuclear powers," said Apitaknov.
