Russian-French joint venture Alstom Atomenergomash is considering, among other options, buying a new site to accommodate low-speed turbine production with Alstom technology, Atomenergomash CEO Andrei Nikipelov told journalists at the Atomexpo forum, Interfax reported Monday.
A working group "has considered over 100 placement options, and now the list has been narrowed to practically three to four options," he said, adding that two Atomenergomash sites, ZiO-Podolsk and Petrozavodskmash, are also among the contenders.
Alstom Atomenergomash was established to produce low-speed turbines, which are currently not made in Russia. The new enterprise, scheduled to be launched in 2015, already has a contract to supply turbines to the Baltic Nuclear Power Plant, which is currently under construction.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
