On April 9, 2011 First Deputy Administration Head of Rostov region Sergey Gorban paid his first information visit to Rostov NPP. He was accompanied by Mayor of Volgodonsk city Victor Firsov.

Sergey Gorban gave a high evaluation to the level of corporate culture and security assurance at the NPP and said: “I am impressed. This is a huge knowledge-intensive facility, equipped with unique technologies and appliances. It employs competent and responsible people, which ensure the highest degree of facility safety. Of course, today everyone is alarmed by the events in Japan, but we are aware that the equipment and security systems of Rostov NPP represent the next generation and are at the highest level”.

Vice Governor emphasized the role of Rostov NPP in the economy and energy security of the region, area and country: “This is a stable enterprise that has not only managed to maintain its positions during the crisis, but has also helped others to survive. A nuclear power plant means enormous funds for the region, area and the entire Russia in the form of investments and taxes”.
