"We must move on in this area [in nuclear cooperation] to the next package of bilateral cooperation, which undoubtedly includes the development of Russian-designed nuclear power plants in China and joint work on the fourth generation of nuclear energy – this is closing the fuel cycle and more active use of industrial fast-neutron reactors," Likhachev told reporters.
Rosatom's goal is to reach appropriate agreements regarding the construction of nuclear power plants in China, the CEO also said, adding that the corporation also aims to resolve mutually beneficial issues.
"First and foremost, this means strengthening cooperation in the nuclear fuel cycle and, accordingly, increasing the capabilities of China's nuclear energy sector in terms of uranium production," Likhachev added.
