Representatives of Rosenergoatom Concern and Iberdrola (Spain) met in Moscow to discuss of projects for building reactors of third generation


A joint seminar of Rosenergoatom Concern and Iberdrola company (Spain) took place in Moscow on Feb 26–28 2008. The subject of the seminar was “Projects for Building Reactors of Third Generation.” The sides discussed problems of designing, building and licensing such reactors. The Russian side was represented by the deputy director general of Rosenergoatom Vladimir Asmolov, the deputy technical director of the Concern Vasily Aksyonov and a number of senior specialists of Rosenergoatom and Atomstroyexport CJSC.

The deputy head of the International Activity Department of Rosenergoatom Concern Nikolay Pozdyakov says that the seminar was quite useful: “We have exchanged views and considered cooperation prospects.”

On Feb 28 the Spanish delegation visited Atomenergoproekt FSUE to familiarize themselves with the company’s work and capacities. The guests told their Russian colleagues about their company and its key nuclear projects.

Iberdrola is one of the biggest and most dynamically developing power generating companies in the world. It owns 45% of nuclear power plants in Spain. Presently, the company is actively diversifying its business and investments in the energy sector.

The framework cooperation agreement between Rosenergoatom Concern and Iberdrola was signed in July 2005. Since then the parties have conducted annual seminars and working conferences and have exchanged visits with a view to discuss issues of mutual concern and to consider possibilities of cooperation.

In 2008 the parties are planning eight scientific-technical seminars in Madrid, Moscow and at nuclear power plants.
