en.Wedoany.com Reported - Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko stated at a roundtable discussion in Colombo that Russia is willing to negotiate with Sri Lanka on a floating small modular nuclear power plant project if the Sri Lankan side is interested.

He introduced that the project involves large ships equipped with nuclear power plants, which are currently used to supply electricity to the Siberian region of Russia and have the capability to provide power to coastal areas of countries in need.

Rudenko pointed out that Russia is currently the only country with practical experience in the construction and operation of floating nuclear power plants, and this project has attracted attention in many places, including Southeast Asia. He also noted that although the construction cost of such facilities is relatively high, the electricity resources they provide are almost "inexhaustible," offering significant benefits.

This statement demonstrates Russia's openness to exporting small modular nuclear energy technology. If Sri Lanka formally expresses its willingness to cooperate, the two sides may engage in specific consultations on the matter.
