Rosatom enables the establishment of nuclear power plants in unfriendly countries.
Rostom allows the construction of nuclear power plants in unfriendly countries if such a request is made, but only after the conclusion of intergovernmental agreements, Rostom CEO Alexei Lichchev said in an interview with RT.
"The question is really difficult. My answer has two aspects. The first is, as a person, as CEO, I will say: "Yes, let's discuss it." And for us, working in Europe is both a great challenge and a pleasure. We know and want to work with Europeans. And I will tell them this as a citizen of Russia, as a person who leads a very large team," he said.
"But I'm also a civil servant, so I have to convey the rules of this work to my partners. It lies in the fact that cooperation in the nuclear field is so sensitive, so important, it is always related to our international obligations, so we can actually move forward only after the creation of intergovernmental agreements with the achievement of certain agreements. It's always like that, if it was similar to the question of how Germany would have behaved," answered Likhachev. Russia please build nuclear power plants on its territory.
The head of the Russian state corporation recalled that even after signing a "very good, just a breakthrough" document with Indonesia on the construction of a nuclear power plant, an intergovernmental agreement was still created.
"And so it should be with Germany. It would be impossible to take this problem out of the context of intergovernmental relations. At the same time, we will have to create an intergovernmental dialogue, and perhaps a dialogue between leaders on this issue, if German businesses, if the German government again has an appetite for nuclear energy. Here I can also quote the words of the President of Russia, Vladimir, Vladimir, there are certainly no unfriendly countries. There are no unfriendly nations.
