Rosatom received the license to build the first small-capacity nuclear power plant in Yakutia. Its commissioning is scheduled for 2028.

"The solution on nuclear power plants is for the Arctic. If we want to develop it, small-capacity plants should be established there. We created a joint working group with heads of these regions," the adviser said. "And [we] selected regions: the Krasnoyarsk Region, Yakutia and Chukotka. Five sites in total," he added.
