Russia to bid for Bulgaria nuclear power plant project
Russia "plans to participate" in a tender to complete the construction of Bulgaria's Belene nuclear
power plant, the chairman of Russia's Federal Atomic Energy Agency, Aleksandr Rumyantsev, announced on Thursday [20
May].
The Atomstroyeksport state company is likely to represent Russia in the tender, he said, as quoted by the Russian
news agency Prime-TASS. The company, he said, could bid in the tender in a consortium with a foreign partner, which
"could be the Franco-German company Framatome", the report said.
"Negotiations are currently under way as to the responsibilities the companies would take in the
consortium," Prime-TASS said with reference to Rumyantsev's statement. In particular, Framatome could supply
equipment for the plant, while Russia could supply fuel, the report added.
