Earlier it was reported that the ceremony will also be attended by the head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, and the director general of the state-owned company Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev.
Russian-made nuclear fuel will be delivered to power unit No. 1. After the fuel arrives at the power plant, the Akkuyu NPP will receive the status of a nuclear power plant.
Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant is Turkey’s first nuclear power plant. The project is implemented on the basis of an intergovernmental cooperation agreement signed in 2010 between Russia and Turkey.
Vladimir Putin noted that the successful implementation of this project will not only bring bilateral cooperation in the energy sector to a new level, but generally contribute to the further promotion of the multifaceted Russian-Turkish partnership.
