JSC “AEM-technology” (part of the engineering division of Rosatom – Atomenergomash) was approved as a manufacturer of equipment for the Akkuyu nuclear power plant being built in Turkey. JSC “AEM-technology” was the first manufacturer of equipment for nuclear power plants to receive a certificate of official approval of the manufacturer.
