Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has called for stronger efforts to accelerate Ninh Thuan nuclear power plants to serve the country’s development requirements in the new era.
Chairing the 4th meeting of the Steering Committee for Nuclear Power Plant Construction in Hanoi on January 7, PM Chinh asked relevant ministries and agencies to soon develop negotiation plans on unresolved issues to discuss with Russia partners for the construction of the Ninh Thuan 1 nuclear power plant. Any arising difficulties should be promptly reported to competent authorities in January.
For the Ninh Thuan 2 plant, the PM required the Vietnam National Industry - Energy Group (PetroVietnam), the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to collaborate to research and propose plans for selecting a partner with suitable advanced source technology, and report to the competent authorities for consideration and decision.
The Ministry of Finance is tasked with urgently coordinating with relevant ministries and agencies to proactively organize negotiations with partners regarding credit agreement for the Ninh Thuan 1 and Ninh Thuan 2 power plants, ensuring synchronization with the investment cooperation agreement for the construction of the plants.
Other relevant ministries, agencies, and localities were instructed to concentrate on resettlement, site clearance, negotiate credit agreements for the Ninh Thuan 1 and 2 nuclear power plants, finalise the nuclear workforce training plan, and develop a strategy for selecting partners with advanced reactor technology.
