Viktor Mikhaylov, director of Rosatom Strategic Stability Institute

— The establishment of Rosatom state corporation is a well-prepared process for consolidation of all capacities of Russian nuclear industry in one center

This is logical step and the fact that the President first decreed to establish Atomenergoprom, a holding comprising all the leading assets of “peaceful atom,” and now has submitted a bill on the establishment of a state corporation shows that our Government gives high priority to nuclear energy. The head of the corporation is to be appointed by the President, which proves his high status as a manager.

The corporation will receive quite big financing – much more than the industry is getting now. This is also good.
