“Our Vietnamese partners on December 1 issued a document agreeing the beginning of work, on December 2 Russian specialists commenced the construction,” said Pyotr Shchedrovitsky, advisor to Rosatom’s CEO.

According to a Russia-Vietnamese intergovernmental agreement, the Ninh Thuan nuclear plant will be constructed by 2020. It will have two power units.
