Russian nuclear power company Rosatom has signed an agreement with the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in Russia to promote nuclear power projects. The project will feature a small nuclear power plant based on the SHELF-M reactor.

Rosatom Director-General and Yakutia head signed the agreement this week. Under the agreement, the two parties will develop and approve a roadmap to implement the project this year. With 10MW of installed electricity capacity, the project will be based on the SHELF-M integral pressurised water reactor (PWR). The pilot nuclear power plant is scheduled to be commissioned in 2030.
