SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
ENERGY SUPPLY
Nuclear energy provides about 11%
of the world’s electricity.
ROSATOM today implements projects
to construct 39 nuclear power units
worldwide, which will provide stable
electricity supply at affordable prices.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
Nuclear generation provides 25-30 times less GHG
emissions than coal- or oil-fired power plants.
NPPs constructed worldwide by ROSATOM over
the past 60 years have helped to avoid more than
15 thousand million tonnes of CO
2
emissions.

CHALLENGES
ECONOMIC
CHALLENGES
National nuclear energy programme
is a powerful driver for a country’s
socio-economic development.
Based on ROSATOM’s research, one dollar
invested in nuclear energy may create a multiplier
effect of seven dollars in related industries.
INNOVATIVE
DEVELOPMENT
Nuclear energy is a high-tech segment,
which boosts R&D activities in many areas.
ROSATOM spends about 4.5% of its
revenue on R&D activities.
90% of all cancer-detection procedures are
performed with the use of radioisotopes.
ROSATOM is one of the world’s major
radioisotope suppliers.
FOOD SUPPLY
25% of all food supply
worldwide is harmed
by the bacteria and insects.
ROSATOM offers irradiation
solutions that help preserve
foods and improve crop.
WATER SUPPLY
Each 5
th
person in the world
has no access to clean water.
ROSATOM is a pioneer in
nuclear desalination, offering
integrated solutions in this sphere.
The Earth’s population is expected to rise
to an estimated 8 billion people by 2030.
Nuclear technologies can contribute
greatly to the well-being of the coming
generations.
EMPLOYMENT
One NPP construction project
can create about 70 000 new jobs
in related industries.
ROSATOM is committed
to local personnel development
in the countries of its operations.
TRADE &
TRANSPORT
Nuclear energy powers icebreakers
and paves the way for more
cost-efficient maritime travels.
ROSATOM’s nuclear icebreakers
fleet makes possible the year-round
Arctic navigation.
