Rosatom ready to bid in KSA nuclear plant tender


(MENAFN)State-owned Russian nuclear group Rosatom Company said on Thursday that it has sent initial proposals to Saudi Arabia for nuclear power generation and it is ready to bid if a tender was proclaimed.

From its part, Saudi Arabia has sent a "request for information" to vendors in order to build two nuclear reactors in its plan to a formale tender.

"Rosatom has expressed its interest and sent its initial proposals to the Saudi Arabia nuclear authorities. We are looking forward to the tender and are ready to take part in such a great project." said a Rosatom spokesman.

Saudi Arabia is planning to build 17.6 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear capacity by 2032, the equivalent of about 17 reactors, making its way to have one of the biggest prospects for an industry struggling after the 2011 nuclear catastrophe in Japan.
