Our successful history of manufacturing and operating the cutting-edge RITM reactor units provides a solid basis for reaching the goals of the Northern Sea Route development and SMR technology promotion,” pointed out Maxim Tyukavkin.

Currently, for the first time in the plant’s history, there are eight RITM series reactor units at different stages of production (for icebreakers and floating power units).
