This is the first agreement signed by the Alstom Atomenergomash joint venture, established in 2007 between Alstom and Atomenergomash, a subsidiary of Russia’s state-owned Atomenergoprom.
The Seversk nuclear power plant project will be two-unit power plant with a total capacity of 2,400MW to be constructed as part of the AES-2006 project, in compliance with the Russian Federal Target Program.
Philippe Joubert, president of Alstom Power Systems, said: This agreement demonstrates that our joint venture with Atomenergomash based on the Arabelle half-speed technology has now successfully established itself as a key player on the Russian nuclear market.
