🌐BRICS Nuclear Energy Platform: shaping the future of global nuclear energy On 26 September 2025, Moscow hosted the annual conference of the BRICS Nuclear Energy Platform as part of World Atomic Week (WAW-2025). The event brought together leaders and partners from Brazil, Vietnam, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, China, South Africa, the UAE, Ethiopia, Turkey, and the ASEAN Energy Hub to discuss 2025 results and plans for 2026. A key moment of the conference was the approval of the Platform’s first strategic concept, outlining priorities such as human resource development, fundraising for nuclear projects, supply chain sustainability, reactor construction, nuclear fuel cycle technologies, and public acceptance of nuclear energy. Elsie Pule, Chief Coordinator of the Platform, emphasized the growing global role of BRICS: “According to her, the group accounts for almost one-third of operating NPPs and more than 70% currently under-construction power units. Elsie Pule predicted that the BRICS’s share would be least two-thirds of all new nuclear capacity added to the global NPP fleet by 2030.” Alexey Likhachev also highlighted Rosatom’s commitment to international cooperation: “By tradition, Rosatom supports international cooperation, partnerships, and the exchange of best practices as we believe that the development of safe, sustainable and innovative energy - especially nuclear energy - is only possible through joint efforts. A year and a half ago, Rosatom joined the initiative for creating the BRICS Nuclear Energy Platform. Over the first year, the Platform became the site for direct exchange of experience, knowledge, and technologies for public and private companies. The addition of new members is important and symbolic as it confirms that the number of partners sharing our goals and values is increasing.” During the conference, Nucleo Brasil Energia Participações Ltd. officially joined the Platform, further strengthening international collaboration in nuclear energy. #Rosatom#BRICS#NuclearEnergy#WAW2025#InternationalCooperation
