Akkuyu Nuclear JSC can Build Unit 4

Please share:

Akkuyu Nuclear JSC is authorized to build unit 4 of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant, 93% owned by Rosatom.

Akkuyu Nuclear JSC continues construction of Turkish power plant

The construction permit for unit 4 of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant, owned by Rosatom, has been issued to Akkuyu Nuclear JSC.
This follows an assessment by the Board of the Turkish Nuclear Regulatory Authority.
The issuance of this license means that all construction and installation work on Unit 4, including that of the nuclear safety facilities, can now begin.

Start of foundation slab construction in 2022

“Obtaining the construction license for unit 4 is an important milestone in the implementation of the project. […] We have completed the licensing process for the construction of our four-unit nuclear power plant and have therefore had the safety, thorough development, relevance and uniqueness of our project reaffirmed by our Turkish colleagues at the Nuclear Regulatory Authority. Early next year, we will begin construction of the foundation slab for the nuclear island buildings,” says Anastasia Zoteeva, General Manager of Akkuyu Nuclear JSC.

This makes the Akkuyu nuclear power plant the world’s largest construction site.
Every day, it brings together 12,000 workers, over 1,000 units of construction equipment and vehicles, and 70 construction cranes.
