“After fueling at Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant on April 27, this facility will be officially considered nuclear,” the Turkish leader said.Turkey’s Akkuyu nuclear power plant, under construction by Russia, is to be commissioned this year. The readiness of the facility was announced last March by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during talks in Moscow with his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu.According to the head of Russian diplomacy, the commissioning of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant will coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey. Lavrov explained that the operation of the nuclear power plant “will ensure reliable energy supply to Turkish consumers”.Russia started the construction of a nuclear power plant in 2018. A particularity of the project is that it is carried out according to the so-called “build-own-operate” scheme (in English – Build-Own-Operate): Rosatom will not be satisfied not to transfer the finished facility under the control of the Turkish authorities, but will continue to exercise full control over it.It is planned that upon completion of the construction of the nuclear power plant, Akkuyu will have four power units with VVER-1200 reactors with a total capacity of 4,800 megawatts.
