Addressing Atomexpo 2024 in Sochi, southern Russia, Hungary’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó called for nuclear energy to remain a field of international cooperation, and expressed regret that the field was riddled with ideological debates. “As long as infrastructure determines energy cooperation, ideology should have nothing to do with [it],” he said. He added that, whereas nuclear energy had been “a victim of ideology” recently, Europe had “overcome” discrimination, “thanks mostly to the fact that France is a pro-nuclear country”. He added: “We were able to win our debates in Europe and make it recognised that generating electricity in a nuclear way is sustainable, safe and cheap.”

First concrete has been poured for the foundation of unit 7 of the Leningrad NPP (also known as Leningrad-II unit 3) three months ahead of schedule. Addressing the ceremony by video link, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted: “By 2045, the share of nuclear generation in the total energy balance of Russia will be increased to 25 %. The construction of a new efficient power unit at the Leningrad NPP will be a good contribution to this work. Its launch will increase the energy security of the entire North-West region of Russia and for years to come will provide consumers with more environmentally friendly, clean electricity.
