Russia Could Help Build NPP In Egypt
Moscow, Russia (RIA Novosti) Nov 29, 2006 Russia intends to take part in a tender to build a nuclear power plant in Egypt, the Russian nuclear chief said Tuesday. "Construction of an NPP in Egypt is quite possible," Sergei Kiriyenko told journalists. "When a tender is announced in Egypt, we will be ready to announce our participation." The head of the Federal Nuclear Power Agency said preparations for such a tender are already under way, and added that specific features of the project will depend on the customer. There will soon be strong demand for small- and medium-power reactors, he said. Russia's nuclear power equipment and service export monopoly Atomstroyexport is currently building five nuclear power plants in China, India and Iran, on contracts worth $4.5 billion, and is also bidding to build a plant in Belene, Bulgaria. Company president Sergei Shmatko said in late October that talks regarding the construction of NPPs could be held with Morocco, Vietnam, Egypt and South Africa.
