Technical tours in a new format will be held at Russian NPPs

The first online business session dedicated to the new organizational procedure for technical tours* for international delegations to Russian nuclear power plants (branches of Rosenergoatom Concern, Rosatom Electric Power Division) was held on September 8 and 10, 2020 by the company’s International Business Development Division.

The new format implies using standard scenarios for receiving international delegations at key facilities of the nuclear industry. This will promote Rosatom’s image, as well as company’s products and services abroad.

‘Technical tours are pivotal for shaping the demand and interest of international customers in the services of the Russian nuclear industry. They are a demonstration of our up-to-date nuclear technologies, as well as Rosatom’s willingness to cooperate. In 2019 alone, over 1.5 thousand international guests, including international journalists, visited Russian NPPs,’ said Nikita Konstantinov, Deputy CEO – Business Development Director of Rosenergoatom Concern.

Konstantinov said that a standard scenario for conducting technical tours not only establishes the organizational procedure for the reception of international delegations, but also has prompted the formation of a pool of qualified speakers – employees who accompany international guests. For this cause, the best specialists were selected at six sites of functioning Russian NPPs (Leningrad, Novovoronezh, Beloyarsk, Kursk, Rostov NPPs and the floating nuclear power plant – FNPP) to participate in the practical part of the event – speaker trainings.

During the first day of the business session, the participants were informed about the international business of Rosatom State Corporation, company’s integrated offer for international customers, as well as the role of press tours in promoting the company's products and services abroad.

Event speakers were Alexander Vlasov, Deputy Director of the Rosatom International Business Division, Anatoly Chukharev, Director of the Rosenergoatom International Business Development Division, Anton Moskvin, AO RAOS Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Andrey Timonov, Director of the Rosenergoatom Communications Devision, and Anna Selezneva, head of the PR Department of the private institution RMS.

During the second day of the business session, Marina Sof’ina, Project Manager of the Rosatom International Business Division, and Elena Pashina, Marketing Director of AO RAOS, taught speakers how to prepare for a meeting with an international delegation, how to present information, and gave useful practical tips to participants.

Over 50 people took part in the event, including representatives of the most visited nuclear power plants – Leningrad, Novovoronezh, Beloyarsk, Rostov, Kursk NPP-2, FNPP, as well as the employees of the Afrikantov OKB Mechanical Engineering, NIITFA, Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry, RIAR, IPPE.

* Technical tour is a visit of a foreign delegation to a nuclear facility. In 2019, the Leningrad and Novovoronezh NPPs became pilot sites for the formation of an industry-wide approach to conducting technical tours for international delegations. Today, the experience of Russian nuclear power plants is being transferred to other Rosatom facilities.
