Belarus Expands Cooperation with Russia's Rosatom, Strengthening Energy and Non-Nuclear Sectors
Belarus is significantly expanding its cooperation with Russia's state nuclear energy corporation, Rosatom. This ongoing collaboration was highlighted by Aleksandr Turchin, who noted the positive dynamics in all areas of cooperation between Belarus and Russia, as recently affirmed by the presidents of both countries. The primary focus of this expanded partnership remains the energy sector, particularly concerning the Belarusian NPP, which is described as a significant achievement for Belarus in nuclear power engineering. Beyond nuclear energy, the cooperation is extending into various non-nuclear areas. These include additive technologies, electric mobility, energy storage, and nuclear medicine. Alexey Likhachev of Rosatom confirmed that coordinated work is progressing on the two existing units of the Belarusian NPP and that plans for further expansion are underway. Both parties expressed enthusiasm for exploring new topics and ideas to deepen their collaboration, including humanitarian matters.
