Rosatom invites EDF to participate in Turkey’s first nuclear plant

The Russian state atomic power company is seeking partners for its new nuclear reactors, and has already invited EDF (Euronext: EDF) to help build Turkey’s first nuclear power plant.

Rosatom is ready to reduce its stakes in the planned Akkuyu nuclear power plant in Turkey to as much as 51 per cent from 100 per cent, as well as in the Baltic plant in Russia. This said Vladislav Bochkov, a spokesman for the Moscow-based company, on Wednesday.

“Rosatom is ready for a strategic partnership with all major energy companies, including EDF,” Bloomberg quoted Bochkov as saying. Bochkov also said that Rosatom may also extend their cooperation with France’s Areva SA.
