Finland must compensate Rosatom in Court for ending contract at Hanhikivi-1 NPP - CEO

Finland must compensate Rosatom in Court for ending contract at Hanhikivi-1 NPP - CEO

Moscow, May 21 (UNI) Finland must compensate Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom in court for the termination of its contract at the Hanhikivi-1 nuclear power plant (NPP), CEO Alexey Likhachev said on Wednesday.

The only country that has demonstratively refused to cooperate with Rosatom is Finland, the CEO said.

"We are currently in court. The political convictions of the Finnish government do not concern us much. They should pay, in our opinion, and compensate us for the losses that were incurred during the first stage of construction and creation of the project," Likhachev said, speaking at the government hour in the Federation Council.

Rostom has practically not left the Western peaceful atom market, but the share of its projects with other countries is growing, the head said, adding that negotiations on a number of new projects abroad are in the final stages.
