The president of JSC NIAEP Valery Limarenko paid special attention to the increasing in pace of works: “At present the construction site requires about two thousand workers. By the middle of the year there should work 3,000 people on two power units, and by the end of the year – 4000. In this connection we are starting the construction of housing for workers. The first 300 places will be ready by July, thousands more – in September”.

“At the construction site it is noted a positive dynamic. I think that all the goals set for the second quarter are realistic and achievable”, noted on the outcome of headquarters work Alexander Palamarchuk.

The main task is to build the plant in time”, noted the Director of Capital Investments of the State Atomic Energy Corporation ROSATOM Gennady Sakharov. “At the construction site I saw that the industry construction complex is ready to carry out this serious task and that here it exists an efficient team of managers and builders”.
