MOSCOW, May 27 (RIA Novosti) - Rosatom's has hundreds
of billions of dollars worth of foreign orders for the
construction of nuclear power plants (NPP) and reactors over
the next 10 years, the head Russia's state-run nuclear power
corporation said on Wednesday.
"The average cost of the construction of a reactor at a
nuclear power plant is about $4-5 billion. Our foreign orders
portfolio in the next decade is estimated at hundreds of
billions of dollars," Sergei Kiriyenko said on Vesti 24

Rosatom's subsidiary, Atomstroyexport is building 14 NPPs
in various countries around the world and plans to sign a
number of new contracts in the near future.
"In particular, we are finishing the construction of two
reactors in China and holding talks on the construction of two
additional reactors. We are also in talks [with China] on the
construction of two fast neutron reactors," Kiriyenko said.
Atomstroyexport, acting through a consortium with Russian
power producer Inter RAO UES and Turkey's Park Teknik, is also
participating in a tender to build four nuclear reactors with a
generation capacity of 1.2 GW each in Turkey.
"The results of the tender will be announced in June, but
our success is almost guaranteed - all our proposals have been
accepted," the official said.
He added that Rosatom is the only company in the world
that has the capacity for a full-cycle construction of nuclear
power facilities - from site prospecting to the launch of
reactors.
