Russia plans to bid for construction of Finland’s fifth reactor, Russia’s minister for atomic energy, Alexander Rumyantsev said. A call for bids is expected to take place in the next 3-4 months for the construction of the reactor for an estimated cost of $1.5 billion. Russia will be bidding against the UK, France, Germany, Sweden and the USA. Rumyantsev said that Finnish experts recently visited the site of a Russian-built reactor under construction in China.
