MOSCOW, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- As part of Russia's expansion of its nuclear energy capabilities, Russia's Rosatom Nuclear Energy State Corp. is increasing its hiring of university graduates.
Rosatom.ru reported Thursday that more than 160 graduates of Tomsk Polytechnical University and Seversk State Technological Academy have been assigned to Rosatom.
The selection and assignment procedure was attended by representatives of Russian nuclear facilities, including officials from Ekaterinburg's Energomash, Angarsk Electrolysis Chemical Combine, Russia's Scientific-Research Institute of Nuclear Reactors (NIIAR) in Dimitrovgrad, Krasnoyarsk Kray's Electrochemical and Mining Chemical Combines and representatives from most of Russia's 10 nuclear power plants.
Representatives from enterprises in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan were also in attendance. In total, more than 300 vacancies were offered to the graduates, who will defend their diplomas early next year.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is committed to expanding Russia's nuclear energy use, remarking in his 2007 annual address, "Over the entire Soviet period, 30 nuclear power plant units were built, but we plan to build 26 such units over the next 12 years, and to do so using the most advanced technology available."
