PARIS: Rosatom is keen to agree partnership deals with French power group EDF and is proposing it take stakes in nuclear power stations Rosatom is building in Kaliningrad and Turkey, Les Echos reported on Monday.
EDF and Russia's state-owned nuclear company laid the basis for closer ties with an agreement in 2010 for co-operation in fields such as research and development and possible joint projects.
"EDF is one of the biggest world players in this sector and we are proposing interesting projects," the paper quoted Rosatom Deputy Chairman Nikolai Spassky telling it on the margins of a meeting on nuclear energy hosted by the OECD.
"We own for the moment 100 percent of the 4.800 megawatts we are building in Turkey and we are ready to substantially cut (our holding)," Spassky added.
EDF declined comment.
Spassky said the Russian company was also interested in developing partnerships with French nuclear group Areva and was ready for "concrete industrial co-operation" with it as well as with EDF, the paper reported.
