"Russia today is the only country in the world with expertise across the entire nuclear fuel cycle, from uranium mining to nuclear fuel disposal," said Igor Sechin, Executive Secretary of the Presidential Commission on Fuel and Energy Sector Development Strategy and Chief Executive Officer of Rosneft Oil Company.
In developing its nuclear industry, China is relying on the latest technological advances from leading nuclear powers, including Russia. Russia has contributed to the construction of four power units at the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant. Four more nuclear units are planned for completion in the next few years, at the Tianwan and Xudapu Nuclear Power Plants. Partnerships are also developing in the supply of raw materials and the production of fuel cells using Russian technology.
"Russia is also assisting China in implementing a project to build a fast-neutron reactor, which provides deeper fuel burnup and higher efficiency. Let me remind you that our country is the sole owner of this technology," Sechin noted.
Sechin also emphasized the economic benefits of joint projects. The cost of the most advanced Russian VVER-1200 reactor is half that of the American AP-1000.
