The State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom presented its capabilities for the development of nuclear energy at the international conference "Development of the Construction, Industrial, Chemical and Energy Industries of Turkmenistan" (CIET 2025) in Avaza.

"The modern world is undoubtedly moving toward green energy sources. This is primarily due to environmental issues, including in Turkmenistan. By 2050, countries' plans for nuclear energy development will triple, and the share of nuclear energy will almost triple," said Dmitry Konstantinov, Director General of the Rosatom Representative Office for Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan.

Konstantinov noted that emissions from electricity generation account for over 70% of total greenhouse gas emissions. He emphasized that it is crucial to begin creating opportunities for the development of renewable energy sources and nuclear power now.

"Rosatom is undoubtedly the global leader in nuclear energy, both in Russia and globally," he emphasized.

The state corporation representative also noted that the development of nuclear energy provides impetus for the development of related technologies, such as wind power, hydrogen energy, and energy storage systems. Furthermore, the industry contributes to the advancement of science, education, the development of a regulatory framework, and interaction with international organizations.

Konstantinov reported that the Russian nuclear industry is currently capable of reprocessing up to 90% of spent nuclear fuel.

"It's crucial that modern nuclear power plants incorporate technologies for handling spent nuclear fuel, and these technologies are rapidly developing. For example, in Russia, we can now reprocess up to 90% of spent nuclear fuel," he said.

According to him, closed fuel cycle technologies will be developed by 2030, where spent fuel will be completely reprocessed and fresh nuclear fuel based on separated nuclear materials will be loaded into nuclear power plant reactors.
