Tashkent, March 24 /Xinhua/ — The Atomic Energy Agency under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Uzatom) and Russia's State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom signed a roadmap for cooperation in the nuclear and related fields in Tashkent on Tuesday.
According to a press release from Uzatom, the roadmap covers training qualified personnel, raising public awareness of modern nuclear technologies, and developing infrastructure near the nuclear power plant (NPP) in Uzbekistan.
The parties entered into an additional agreement to the contract for the construction of the nuclear power plant, which provides for a new integrated configuration of the project.
The updated design includes two high-capacity power units with VVER-1000 reactors, as well as two power units with RITM-200N reactors with a capacity of 55 MW each.
Once fully operational, the nuclear power plant is expected to produce approximately 15.4 billion kWh of electricity per year, accounting for more than 15 percent of Uzbekistan's total electricity consumption.
