RUSSIA'S, SLOVAKIAN NUCLEAR POWER

АТОМНАЯ ЭНЕРГИЯ РОССИИ, СЛОВАКИИ

ROSATOMOn June 5, 2019, during the visit of Prime Minister of Slovakia Peter Pellegrini to Moscow, a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes was signed between ROSATOM and Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic.

On the part of ROSATOM, the document was signed by Director General Alexey Likhachev, on the part of Slovakia – by Minister of Economy Peter Žiga. The signing took place in the presence of Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic Peter Pellegrini.

The parties are interested in further expanding the current bilateral cooperation in the use of the peaceful atom. The document identifies areas of cooperation in service and modernization of Slovak NPPs, ensuring safe and uninterrupted supply of Russian nuclear fuel, implementation of promising projects for the construction and decommissioning of NPPs in the Slovak Republic, participation of Slovak organizations and companies in the supply of equipment and services for NPP construction projects implemented by Rosatom. The parties also agreed to develop training projects for the nuclear industry, share experiences and best practices.

To determine specific joint projects aimed at developing cooperation, the Parties will establish a Joint Coordinating Committee.

"Nuclear energy has been the major energy source of the Slovak Republic for half a century. More than 55% of Slovakia's energy is provided by VVER reactors. This agreement is planned to strengthen our mutual relations in the nuclear sphere, jointly implement projects in third countries, and strengthen the exchange of knowledge and experience. During our cooperation, more than one generation of high-class specialists has grown up, who pass on their knowledge, ensuring the energy security of Slovakia for the years ahead," said Alexey Likhachev, Director General of ROSATOM.

"The use of electricity generated by nuclear power plants is essential for the Slovak economy and a question of national energy security. At the same time, it should be stressed that it is a carbon-free energy that does not use any fossil fuel such as coal and actively helps to strike against global warming. Moreover, Slovakia is a country that has been producing nuclear energy safely for decades and wants to develop these experiences," – said Minister of Economy of Slovak Republic Peter Žiga.

Reference:

Nuclear generation with a total electrical capacity of 1940 MW is the basis of the Slovak energy system. Two units of the Bohunice NPP (1984-1985) and two units of the Mochovce NPP (1998-1999) annually produce about 15 billion kWh of electricity, about 55% of the total electricity generation in the country. The number of nuclear power plants in the energy balance of Slovakia is one of the highest in the world.

DIVERSIFICATION IS IMPORTANT
To put these two things together, the shale oil affecting both the volume of export and the price, plus the developments in clean technologies, tell me that for those countries who meet in Vienna, it has never been more important for them to diversify their economies. We have seen in Algeria, for example, one of the main reasons is the low oil price and the impact on the economy, and the same with Venezuela and elsewhere.

NUCLEAR POWER INCREASING
During a panel discussion at the Breakthroughs: Flexible Nuclear Energy Systems in a Clean Energy World side event during CEM10, Rising said: "Action is needed to expand the share of nuclear generation in the clean energy future. We will need much more nuclear energy if we are to deliver on environmental, economic and sustainable development objectives."

NUCLEAR POWER IS IMPORTANT
“Without an important contribution from nuclear power, the global energy transition will be that much harder,” said Dr Fatih Birol, the IEA’s Executive Director. “Alongside renewables, energy efficiency and other innovative technologies, nuclear can make a significant contribution to achieving sustainable energy goals and enhancing energy security.
