Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom will receive an additional RUB2.7bn ($42.3m) from the state budget in 2017 to contribute to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (Iter) project under construction in Cadarache France. Ria Novosti said RUB1.13bn will be given to Iter as a cash contribution, and RUB1.57bn will be in the form of manufactured equipment. The increase means Russia will keep its overall contribution to the Iter project at 9.09% of total contributions in 2017, according to a statement by Russia’s parliament. Seven parties contribute to Iter’s funding: Russia, the EU, the US, China, India, Japan and South Korea. According to Iter’s last available financial report, Russia contributed slightly more than RUB15bn in 2015, both in cash and in kind, equivalent to 9.97% of the total.
