Uzbekistan Launches First SMR Build
Rosatom and Uzatom have initiated the construction of a low-power nuclear power plant (NPP) in Uzbekistan, utilizing the RITM-200N reactor.
The site will also feature two high-power VVER-1000 units and two RITM-200N units, combining large and small reactors on a single site.
“Today we begin a new stage in the implementation of the project to create nuclear generation in Uzbekistan,”
said Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev. The first stage of construction involves developing a pit for the ASMM with a RITM-200N reactor, located in the Farish district of the Jizzakh region.
A total of 1.5 million cubic meters of soil will be removed for the pit, which will be 13 meters deep.
According to Likhachev, a high degree of localization is provided for the construction of the ASMM, as with all Rosatom's foreign projects.
