As Ilyumzhinov told Nezavisimaya Gazeta by phone immediately after the memorandum signing, construction works will start on next September. “The cost of the project is 16 billion and 200 million rubles (about $250 million dollar), of which approximately 30% will be Chinese investment”, Ilyumzhinov said. “The construction will be conducted by the Chinese company Harcan Engineering, which is involved in constructing nuclear power plants as well as other complex industrial facilities in 24 countries. The factory will start working in September 2021”. Photo © yugsn.ru.
