– These are good agreements and Russia will fully comply with them

On June 9 the ITER Project Office and the ITER Russian Domestic Agency-Kurchatov Institute signed contracts for the supply of equipment for ITER project.

The point is that, today, the 20% of equipment to be produced for ITER and already supplied under the agreement with the Project Office has already been accepted worldwide due to these contracts. The two contracts we are participating in are very science intensive components of ITER. We have chosen them on purpose so as to give our industry experience for further production at home. These are good contracts and Russia will fully comply with them.
