Belarusians invited to perform commissioning at first Turkish NPP

Astravets-based CJSC "BelAtomService" signed a contract for installation support of commissioning works on the first and second power units of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant.

Astravets-based CJSC "BelAtomService" signed a contract for installation support of commissioning works on power units No. 1 and 2 of the Turkish Akkuyu NPP.

"Akkuyu" is located on the Mediterranean coast near the village of Büyükeceli in Mersin province, approximately 120 kilometers west of Mersin itself and a hundred kilometers across the sea from Cyprus, which has caused protests from the latter.

The station was planned to be built back in the mid-1970s, but Turkey could not find a contractor for decades. An international tender announced in 2008 received only one bid due to the crisis and was canceled.

As a result, the Turks directly agreed with Rosatom on special terms: Russia builds the station with its own funds, and Turkey commits to purchasing electricity at a fixed price for 15 years.

"Akkuyu" was built slowly and with difficulty. The first unit was laid back in 2018, and fuel was delivered in 2023. Frequent changes of contractors eventually led to the launch being postponed until 2026 — and it's not certain that the station will start operating this year.

The equipment at "Akkuyu" is similar to that operating at the Astravets NPP. That is why Belarusians were chosen to supervise the commissioning works.

Rosatom's Belarusian subsidiary will check and test the Turkish power units in various situations before connecting the station to the power grid and look for deficiencies.

The customer for the works is JSC "Rosatom Service".

Nevertheless, the payment for the contract will come to Belarus. The Astravets-based company, which, according to the latest documentation, employs 25 people, will receive 7.5 million rubles.
