Current Hungarian cabinet accepting Rosatom’s work on Paks-2 NPP project — company’s CEO

Detailed summary

Alexey Likhachev said that Rosatom remains ready to work on the Paks-2 project, despite all the challenges

He said that Rosatom remains ready to work on the Paks-2 project, despite all the challenges. "Working in Europe today is more difficult than in Asia due to the breakdown of both payment and logistics systems," Likhachev noted.

He added that the last six years have been marked by unexpected global challenges for which the world was unprepared - ranging from the pandemic and the special military operation to sanctions. Nevertheless, Likhachev noted, Rosatom continues to implement its projects amidst an increasingly challenging overall environment and is even taking on new ones.

"Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Ethiopia - these are the results of the last few months. Today, the leaders of these nations are very different individuals. They guide their countries based on their own convictions, beliefs, and global partnerships. Yet, they are all: a) taking steps toward nuclear energy, and b) choosing Rosatom as a systemic partner - not merely, or even primarily, for the construction of a nuclear power plant, but for revitalizing their own industries. I know the detractors, I know those who seek to undermine our projects in Hungary, but we will implement this project anyway, sooner or later," Likhachev assured.
