Atomstroyexport (ASE)JSC (Russian:Атомстройэкспорт) is theRussian Federation'snuclear power equipment and service exporter. It is a fully owned subsidiary ofRosatom.[2]
Atomstroyexport, along withAtomenergoprom, is part of Rosatom'sEngineering Division, which is the corporation's main nuclear power plant (NPP) construction and export business. ASE's flagship product is theVVER reactor. Rosatom's NPP operating company isRosenergoatom. In addition, ASE is closely associated withAtomenergomash, Rosatom's manufacturer of NPP equipment.
Alexander Lokshin, former CEO of Rosenergoatom, now theFirst Deputy CEO for Operations Management at Rosatom, is associated with ASE Group of Companies.[3]
The first research reactor was built and launched in China, at the "Institute of Nuclear Physics," in 1958. After two years in the city ofLanzhou to her it was erected a "Physical Institute". In it was an accelerator of the brand "U-150", specially built at theIzhorskiye Zavody for the Chinese (150 - is the diameter of the magnet poles in cm), thecyclotron, the deuteron has the energy of 18 MeV. The following year, the organization in the city ofŘež (Czechoslovakia, nowCzech Republic) is building "VVR-S", a research reactor (4 MW).
The Russian nuclear vendor is building the first reactor power unit inIranianBushehr nuclear power plant located 400 kilometres (250 mi) southwest ofTehran under a US$1 billion contract signed in 1995.[citation needed] In 2007, Atomstroyexport signed amemorandum of understanding with Ciner Insaat Ticaret ve Sanayi to promote its VVER-designpressurized water reactors inTurkey. InBangladesh, proposals have been prepared to resurrect the potential Rooppur nuclear power plant. In the UK, Atomstroyexport would consider partnering with a Western manufacturer for a new UK builder.[4] In Morocco, Atomstroyexport is considering participation in construction of a nuclear power plant atSidi Boulbra.[5]
In late October 2006, the offer of Atomstroyexport for construction of theBelene Nuclear Power Plant in Bulgaria, using third-generation VVER-1000/V-446B reactors, was approved. The first unit would be in operation by 2013 and the second a year later.[6][7]On 28 March 2012 the Bulgarian government announced the withdrawal from the Belene project due to a negative report regarding the viability of the future power plant and the lack of another major European or American investor.
Between 1999 and 2007, Atomstroyexport constructed theTianwan Nuclear Power Plant in China, which consists of two VVER reactors with 1,060 MW each, and has signed an agreement for construction of units 3 and 4. Unit 5 to 8 are firmly planned.[8]
On 19 February 2008, Atomstroyexport signed a cooperation agreement withTechnopromexport, a Russian exporter of other large-scale power generation types, on the construction and management of power projects in Russia and abroad.[9]
On 14 December 2009, Atomstroyexport boughtNukem Technologies for 23.5 million Euros, adding nuclear power plant decommissioning, waste management and engineering services to its portfolio.[10]
Atomstroyexport has supplied the technology, the equipment, the components and the individual systems towards building sixVVER-1000 reactors for theKudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in India built in collaboration withNuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), with an installed capacity of 6,000 MW of electricity.[11][12]
