Rosatom targets December physical launch of Akkuyu NPP first unit in Turkey

Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev stated at Russian Energy Week that the physical launch of the first unit of Turkey's Akkuyu NPP is expected before the New Year, in December. This marks a key milestone for Turkey's first nuclear power plant, though the timeline has slipped previously. The launch would expand Turkey's baseload power capacity and deepen Russian-Turkish energy cooperation.
