en.Wedoany.com Reported - Anna Belokoneva, Head of the Rosatom Representative Office in Indonesia, presented nuclear energy solutions to Sultan Bakhtiar Najamudin, Speaker of the Regional Representative Council of Indonesia. The meeting was attended by Sergey Torchunov, Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Indonesia.

During the meeting, the parties discussed Rosatom's advanced nuclear energy solutions tailored to Indonesia's diverse needs, covering large-scale nuclear power plants, small modular reactors, and floating nuclear power plants. Sultan Bakhtiar Najamudin noted Indonesia's strong interest in innovatively developing nuclear energy as a power source, highlighting Russia as a long-term partner. Developing nuclear energy aligns with Indonesia's commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 and the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Anna Belokoneva stated that, leveraging extensive experience in implementing international nuclear energy projects, Rosatom is ready to contribute to Indonesia's reliable and sustainable energy supply. It offers a range of technologies from large-scale nuclear power plants to small modular reactors and floating nuclear power plants to meet Indonesia's needs.

The Russian side confirmed its willingness to further deepen cooperation with Indonesia in the field of safe and efficient nuclear energy solutions. Rosatom is adopting a comprehensive approach to cooperation, covering education and personnel training, infrastructure development, stakeholder engagement, and creating development opportunities for local businesses and communities.

Small Nuclear Power Plants (SNPP) are one of the most promising areas in the nuclear industry. Major players are developing solutions based on small modular reactor technology, aiming to provide uninterrupted clean electricity and heat to remote island regions and support promising nuclear power plant development. Rosatom possesses reference technologies for constructing both offshore and onshore small nuclear power plants. Its small nuclear power projects offer consumers long-term stable electricity prices and a reliable power source, making them attractive to large industrial users.

Rosatom's flagship VVER-1200 reactor has demonstrated efficiency and reliability in demonstration unit operations. It is an advanced Generation III+ design fully compliant with international safety standards. Currently, six units based on this reactor are operational: four in Russia and two in the Republic of Belarus. Nuclear power plants using Russian technology are actively under construction in Egypt, Hungary, Turkey, and China. Site survey work is underway for two VVER-1200 units in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Russia continues to develop international trade and economic relations, focusing on strengthening cooperation with friendly countries. The domestic economy is constantly enhancing its export potential, supplying goods, services, and raw materials worldwide, with Rosatom and its subsidiaries actively participating.
