MOSCOW. June 5 (Interfax) - Rosatom is discussing the construction of a small nuclear power plant in Tanzania, Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu Hassan said during a St. Petersburg International Economic Forum session.

"We're transitioning to clean energy. We're interested in the sort of energy mix that will enable us to generate clean energy. We're interested in building small nuclear power plants, which Rosatom is currently discussing with Tanzania," Suluhu Hassan said

In 2025, Rosatom launched a pilot facility at the Mkuju River uranium project in Tanzania, one of the most promising in the world. The deposit has explored uranium reserves of more than 44,000 tonnes, Rosatom CEO Alexei Likhachev has said.
