Russia’s state-run nuclear corporation Rosatom plans to build a nuclear power plant (PLTN) project worth $9bn at Batam in Indonesia.
Russian Federation senior trade expert representative Sergey Kukushkin was quoted by kontan.co.id. as saying: "We have met with officials from BATAN (National Nuclear Energy Agency) for this partnership."
Rostam is inviting local partners for the project, which will have a capacity of 2×1,200MW.
Batam, Bangka Belitung, Kalimantan and West Papua are potential locations where PLTN projects can be developed, according to Kukushkin.
Rosatom plans to use the latest technology for similar projects worldwide to ensure that they are resistant to natural calamities, such as earthquakes, tornadoes and tsunamis.
The national atomic-energy firm will not only finance the Indonesian project, but will also transfer its expertise related to nuclear power and technology for the same.
