Atomic Energy Agency Looking for Contracts in Java
Russia’s companies will bid for constructing a nuclear power plant in Indonesia, said Sergey Kirienko, chief of Federal Atomic Energy Agency (Rosatom). The sources say Indonesia will tie the $9-billion contract for building its nuclear plant in the Java Island to contracts for buying armaments of Russia.
Past Friday, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and spokesmen of foreign ministry of the country sealed in Moscow a cooperation agreement for peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Sergey Kirienko, who signed the document on behalf of Russia, said that Moscow stands ready to bid for constructing the Indonesian first nuclear plant, which tender could be announced in 2007 or in 2008 at the latest.
The nuclear plant that will appear in the Java Island, Indonesia, will have four power units, 1000 MW each, while the project value is estimated at $9 billion.
According to the sources, Indonesia will weigh Russia’s chances for success in view of the profit-yielding effect of contracts for buying weapons of Russia. Really, the top concern of the Moscow tour of Yudhoyono was military and industrial cooperation with Russia.
