Rosenergoatom became the operating organization of a SNPP in Yakutia

Rosenergoatom (Electric Power Division of ROSATOM) has officially become the operating organization of a Small Nuclear Power Plant (SNPP) in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Alexey Likhachev, Director General of ROSATOM, signed a relevant order. Commissioning of the first land-based small plant is planned for 2028. The SNPP design is based on the latest Russian development – the RITM-200N water cooled water moderated nuclear reactor which is the result of the innovative ship-based technology adaptation for land-based location. Reactors of the RITM-200 series were successfully tested on the newest Russian ice breakers under the severe Arctic conditions.
