    Rosatom greenlights dry cooling tower technology for Uzbekistan's nuclear power plants

    Rosatom greenlights dry cooling tower technology for Uzbekistan's nuclear power plants

    The Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom of Russia has given its approval for the implementation of dry cooling tower technology in the construction of nuclear power plants in Uzbekistan. The announcement was made by Polina Lion, the Director of the Department of Sustainable Development at Rosatom, during an event at the Russian pavilion of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP28).

    Lion revealed that negotiations with Uzbekistan were underway, addressing the country's pressing water scarcity issues. Uzbekistan faces a challenging water situation, with forecasts indicating a potential lack of water by 2050. In response to this, Rosatom is exploring the utilization of dry cooling towers as a solution to minimize water consumption in nuclear energy production.

    "The issue of minimum water consumption for nuclear energy is also very serious on the agenda. We are discussing a solution with dry cooling towers. It is a rather complex technological solution, but we are thinking a little ahead," Lion stated.

    Dry cooling tower technology operates without the evaporation of water during the reactor's cooling process, making it a sustainable alternative in regions with limited water resources.

    Rosatom's plans for Uzbekistan involve the construction of a complex featuring two power units equipped with VVER-1200 reactor units. In November, Alexey Likhachev, the General Director of Rosatom, announced that the corporation was in the final stages of negotiating the contract for the nuclear power plant construction in Uzbekistan. Likhachev further mentioned that Rosatom had conducted survey works at the site and provided additional proposals for low power.

    About Rosatom

    Rosatom, a global technological leader in the nuclear sector, operates in 50 countries and plays a pivotal role in various aspects of the nuclear industry, including power plant construction, uranium mining, and enrichment. The corporation's diversification into high-tech products such as hydrogen energy, wind energy, and nuclear medicine underscores its commitment to sustainability and technological innovation.

    The adoption of dry cooling tower technology aligns with Rosatom's strategy to contribute to the international sustainable development agenda. By venturing into low-carbon electricity production, nuclear, hydrogen, and wind energy, Rosatom aims to make a substantial impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, thereby addressing climate change concerns. Since October 2020, Rosatom has been a member of the United Nations Global Compact Network, reinforcing its commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainable development on a global scale.
