Rosatom and China National Nuclear Corporation agree on cooperation in human resources

On 12 September, Rosatom State Corporation and China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) signed a memorandum of understanding on personnel cooperation in Moscow.

The document was signed by Rosatom Deputy Director General for Human Resources Tatyana Terentyeva and Acting Head of the CNNC Human Resources Department Li Changyu. The signing took place at the Atom Museum as part of the CNNC delegation's visit to the Russian Federation.

The agreement provides for:

• the development of strategic partnerships and joint initiatives for personnel training and development;
• the coordination of projects in the field of a people-centred approach to personnel policy;
• interaction between youth and women's industry communities in both countries.

‘We are interested in expanding our partnership with CNNC, including in a multilateral format within the framework of the BRICS nuclear energy platform. I am confident that the agreement and roadmap will help to clearly define the stages, goals and areas of responsibility, as well as enhance the effectiveness of our joint work,’ said Tatyana Terentyeva.

The CNNC delegation's visit programme also included visits to Rosatom's educational and academic facilities: the Obninsk Institute of Atomic Energy of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, the Rosatom Technical Academy and the Rosatom Corporate Academy in Moscow. The delegation also learned about the history and current projects of the Russian nuclear industry, including at the world's first nuclear power plant in Obninsk, the Atom Museum, and the Energy of Dreams exhibition in Zaryadye Park, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the industry.

Cooperation with CNNC remains one of Rosatom's key priorities. The Chinese corporation is also actively involved in the BRICS nuclear platform, established in 2024 as a voluntary association of professional communities and companies from the member countries.
