Moscow – “Clean Energy for a Safe Future” photo exhibition has opened at the Russian Center for Science and Culture in the Indian city of Chennai. The exhibition is organized by the Engineering Division of the Rosatom State Corporation. The exhibition opens a series of events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Russian nuclear industry.
The exhibition tells about Rosatom advanced technologies, that hold a leading position at the global energy market. The exhibition sections are devoted to nuclear energy, nuclear icebreaker fleet, floating nuclear power plants, laser fusion.
Alexander Dodonov, the Russian Vice Consul in Chennai has emphasized the growing importance of nuclear energy in economic relations between Russia and India and the long-term cooperation between our countries in developing advanced high-tech industries. He noted that it is for a reason that the “Clean Energy for a Safe Future” photo exposition is quartered in Chennai.

For reference
The Kudankulam NPP Project is implemented as part of the Intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in the area of NPP construction in India, concluded on November 20, 1988, and the Addenda thereto of June 21, 1998. The Kudankulam NPP will consist of six power units, each of them being 1000 MW capacity. Currently, the first two units are being operated and the remaining four ones are at various stages of construction. New power units of Kudankulam NPP comply with the most up-to-date IAEA safety requirements. The Kudankulam NPP is the southernmost nuclear power plant on the Indian subcontinent and supplies the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu with electricity. A number of advanced technological solutions have been developed specifically for this nuclear power plant, such as a system of hydraulic structures that ensure an uninterrupted supply of cooling sea water and prevent possible environmental impacts.
