MOSCOW. April 19 (Interfax) - Russia's Rosenergoatom corporation does not need any American technology in operating the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), Renat Karchaa, advisor to Rosenergoatom's CEO, said on Wednesday.
"We don't need their technology, we have everything of our own. Moreover, our [technology] was tested a long time ago. We are actively building nuclear power plants, and in this sense, we don't need their technology," Karchaa said on the Rossiya-24 (VGTRK) television channel on Wednesday.
CNN reported earlier that the U.S. Department of Energy had warned Rosatom in a letter dated March 17, 2023, that the ZNPP "contains U.S.-origin nuclear technical data that is export-controlled by the United States Government."
