Alexander, good afternoon and a very important day for almost 170 million people, bangladesh is critically short of electricity, of course, the fact that today the republic is joining the club of states that have Nuclear Technology is a very big event that everyone here has been waiting for without exaggeration citizens. Today, russian president Vladimir Putin, via video link, took part in a ceremony dedicated to the delivery of first batch. Russian fuel produced in siberia here at the rupur Nuclear PowerPlant Construction site. It was transported by land, by air, then again by land, it was almost like a special operation, because the details were not disclosed, the details of the route, at what time the transport and packaging kits, which contained a very important and valuable cargo, were transferred. Today this cargo was met here at the site, Vladimir Putin congratulated his colleagues from bangladesh on this important event and emphasized moscow and yes. Create together here theres a whole industry in bangladesh. Bangladesh is our longtime friend and good partner, with whom we interact on the principles of equality, Mutual Respect and consideration of each others interests. One of the clear evidence of the Progressive Development of russianbangladeshi relations is the implementation of the largest joint construction project. In bangladesh in the province of pabna, a Nuclear Power plant of russian design. After reaching full design capacity, the station will be able to provide about 10 of bangladeshs energy consumption. 10 is a big amount meet the energy needs of the growing bangladeshi economy. And thereby the countrys dependence on coal and Gas Generation will be reduced. Which will optimize the National Energy balance and , of course, the new Nuclear Power plant will not emit Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere, which will have a beneficial effect on the environment, on human health, and on the health of the nation. The culminating moment of todays ceremony, the russian side handed over to their bengal colleagues a certificate that all necessary licenses and permits have been received, fuel manufactured and delivered to the site , i request your permission to hand over the certificate for the delivery of fuel to the Prime Minister of the people s republic of bangladesh, we are honored to present you with the document for the delivery of the nuclear top. To the rupur Nuclear Power plant. Dear madam Prime Minister, i ask you to accept this document from your friendly russia. Russia has already trained more than a thousand people from the first generation of Nuclear Scientists in bangladesh, our specialists will. Help their colleagues from bangladesh all the way, during the entire life cycle of the arupu. I would like to thank the government of the russian federation, magata everyone involved in the project, sincere gratitude to all of you, and i would especially like to express my gratitude personally to the respected mr. President of russia Vladimir Putin. Thank you very much. Also many thanks to the Prime Minister of india narend remodi for his support in implementation. This project. Another symbolic moment. The russian side today gave our bengali colleagues such a very symbolic gift. This is a traditional bengali boat, on which. A model of russian fuel assemblies has been installed, so we see that the country is moving from exclusively agriculture to high technology, here on the banks of the ganges russia is building two vvr 1200 power units these are the safest and most modern generation 3 power units, they will provide about 10 of that energy that is currently consumed in bangladesh, the fact that fresh nuclear fuel has already been delivered here says, the power unit, we absolutely understand the schedule of our work, and therefore the stage of launching the nuclear repur power station, the delivery of nuclear fuel symbolizes the transition to largescale commissioning work, some of which is already underway, but the most important thing lies ahead, during this year, the first half. The volume of general inlet work, it somewhere includes about one and a half thousand positions, all of them need to be carried out and thus move on to the stage of fiscal, that is, the boost of the reactor and the power start, connecting to the network and generating electricity accordingly is already in the interests of consumers, i think that the first test atomic electricity will appear in the next in the year twentyfour, in twenty we will receive a largescale, operating Nuclear Power plant, about the future of the rupur project about other current topics in Nuclear Energy, today, immediately after the ceremony, we talked with the head of rusatom, an exclusive interview with alexei likhachev, watch it right now on our broadcast. Alexey evgenievich, hello, we are in bangladesh, where today, with the participation of the president of russia and the Prime Minister of the republic, a delivery ceremony to the site took place. First batch of fresh nuclear fuel, tell us please, for a person who is not very well immersed in the topic of Nuclear Energy, what does this event mean for the entire project, what is this milestone in the construction of the Nuclear Power plant . It means a lot, a lot, uh, first, i would start with the fact that this is a very important milestone, a very important stage in the technological process of creating any power unit. Well, in this case , the station, it is preceded by a number of official procedures, this is obtaining a fuel license, a delivery license, creating a fuel storage infrastructure, organizing the physical protection of this infrastructure together with the peoples army of bangladesh, and the preparation and training of specialists who have the right to work with fissile materials, that is, this is the first stage of not. But strictly speaking the operation of the station, from this follows the second great importance, from the moment the fissile material arrives at the site , the object is under the magat guarantee , that is, on the big map of the world, it no longer burns with a yellow light, like a Nuclear Power plant under construction, but becomes a green object for the use of atomic energy, it is fully covered least as a guarantee, nonproliferation, for which magath is responsible, and all the supervisory functions that the World Nuclear agency carries out, and accordingly, other International Organizations are already beginning to interact with this object and this country, and the third very important part is that he can even psychologically, this milestone symbolizes the transition from construction to commissioning, that is , in fact, today we are saying, the work is finished, the Nuclear Facility has been created, now we are launching it and, as they say, we are teaching the child walk. Moscow and dhaka negotiated the implementation of the repur project back in 2010, it is clear that during this time the situation in the world has changed a lot, but even then rosatom emphasized that asia is a very promising direction in terms of Nuclear Energy, please tell us how it is now rosatom is looking at this situation and which states are in focus. Attention of the state corporation, well , look, global estimates have not changed, i can say that in general the beginning of the tenth years was marked by the socalled eastern uturn was such a term in the work of the government of the russian federation, state corporations, when it became clear that in a number of areas of competence, and in the nuclear area, first of all, further potential. For the development of european markets is either limited or nonexistent, it is absent for various reasons, someone made political decisions, someone said that there was no need to cooperate with the russians, it was necessary to limit contacts, and what is called developing independently, which means that someone there became attracted to various types of renewable types of electricity to the detriment of the economy and to the detriment of the interests of its own industry, well, everyone has their own choice, even then it was clear that the main demand, the need for large, powerful, sustainable, Green Electricity generation. And it is in asia, it is in south asia in Southeast Asia in east asia and our partners who work here are china, india, bangladesh, myanmar, indonesia, they are either already implementing or are in negotiations with us about creating joint projects, uh, this one leading multiple the growth of energy consumption, in the nuclear. Sphere is intensified by the technological , perhaps one could even say so, the cultural and emotional push that our projects produce in countries, this requires the preparation of nuclear infrastructure, a huge amount of not only practical, but Scientific Research personnel, and perhaps large Training Programs that we are implementing here, and indeed, well, to be honest, it turns out that there is great satisfaction from working with these countries, our interest is not limited only to asia, of course, this is africa, this is the middle east, this is latin america , of course, first of all our neighbors, partners in the eurasian union, in the collaboration of independent states, and everywhere a combination of pragmatism, the choice of Nuclear Energy and rosatom as a partner for the implementation of projects, everywhere this pragmatism coexists very harmoniously. With such an emotional upsurge associated with new knowledge, with new competencies, with the training of thousands of specialists, well, as they say, under the leadership of both the government and president , we are implementing projects, it is clear that they need support, at least political, organizational, financial, and bangladesh is one of the most striking examples, where it is clear, simply visible, it is felt that the nation supports this project, all the people need this project. Yes, they even asked us at the airport when the Nuclear Plant will start generating electricity. And the last question, which cannot be avoided in recent months, please tell us about the situation in the zaporozhye ips around it, well, ill start with because this issue arose today at a press conference, we traditionally informed our foreign partners about how things are happening at. The Nuclear Power plant and in the city of energodar, because for us the social space in which our employees live is inextricably linked, and the Nuclear Power plant site itself , everything is stable at the Nuclear Power plant, the units are in shutdown mode, we dont see any immediate prospects for launching them, due to the simply aggravated militarypolitical situation, and there are quite enough active personnel, to ensure the safe maintenance of the facility, well, i apologize for this wording, until better times. And so, this is, of course, a very powerful, modern station, which, i must say, has a very professional team and welltrained workers, who are actually now employees of the russian operating organization, and the only threat that exists is the explosions and machine guns that can still be heard queues, they can be heard from the station, as magat employees note, they can be heard in the energy dar, the peak of the power impact on energodar. It was during the elections, the day before, for about ten days in a row, there were flights, shelling, there were casualties, unfortunately, but energodar residents responded with their vote, there in the zaporozhye region, in general, very high results, trust in party in power of the russian federation, in nanargodari they are even higher, which is important to emphasize that the International Community is, in principle, aware, another one has passed. Magat, many thanks to the armed forces of the russian federation, the ministry of defense, the nbc troops, the Russian National guard for the organization, simply impeccable, of this exchange of missions, four people, recruits from magat arrived, in general, they organized life and work in accordance with their requests, but this social space, the city of energodar, which, the population of which is growing, then it is directly physically visible how the number of schoolchildren and requests for kindergartens has increased, that is , people are returning to energodar, this is for us a very important assessment of the work that you have been doing in recent months, just in. The last few months, the costs of the social sphere is about half a billion rubles, a kindergarten, three schools, a Swimming Pool have been renovated, they are very much appreciated in onargadar, historically such an existing boxing school, glorious participants in the olympic games, today we are literally opening it again, the buildings have been refurbished, a large number of sporting events have taken place, we are working with teachers, gave lectures for children both online, so to speak, and in a live format, and more than 50 children entered Higher Education institutions, more than forty on budget places, including in part of our budget, in part targeted training , you can directly feel that life in the city is returning, but from the bad side, of course, intimidation continues, threats continue, on social networks, by email, by postal addresses, to those who are actively working today. Rebuilds the city, threats come, this, of course, well, in general, shows, that is, who, who has what goals in working at the zaporozhye Nuclear Power plant, there is no alternative, there is no safe use of the Nuclear Power plant, which means we are confident in our position here , the russian army, the ministry of defense, the Russian Guard and i am confident in our workers who are present there, no matter how difficult it is, we will ensure safe operation of the station , i think that next year, as the situation develops, we will look for options, look for opportunities, well, transferring this facility to the operating category. Alexey evgenievich, thank you for this interview. And today , Vladimir Putin will take part in the Plenary Session of the twentieth annual meeting of the Valdai International discussion club.
