Russia at present is a recognized world leader in the number of nuclear power units being built abroad. In the long term, it is planned to significantly expand the scale of international business, which is reflected in the targets of the State Corporation Rosatom and its organizations. In particular, the foreign orders portfolio of Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation for 2017 included 34 nuclear power units. Currently, 7 nuclear power units are under construction in Russia and up to 10 units are being built on Russian projects abroad: in Belarus, Hungary, Iran, Turkey, India, China, Finland, Bangladesh, Egypt.
