Putin: apart from Russia, no one is developing small-scale nuclear power

Russia is the only country in the world that is developing low-capacity nuclear power. This was pointed out by the country's President Vladimir Putin at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum.

"In the North, we now have the first low-capacity floating power plant. We are already working on the construction of additional power plants of such low capacity. By the way, I believe Russia is still the only country in the world that does not just talk about the necessity and the possibility of developing small-scale nuclear power, but actually does it. Apart from us, no one is doing it," the head of state said.

As Putin noted, various options are being offered to Russia's possible partners, while "no one so far uses low-capacity nuclear units for themselves, no one has built them." "But we are building and using them here, in the Far East. For the first time in the world. It works efficiently. We will do all of this together. This is complex, large-scale work. We have begun it, and I am confident that we will act just as energetically as we did at the very beginning," the head of state assured.
