Rosatom opens World Atomic Days in Antalya alongside COP31
The international World Atomic Days 2026 forum, organized by Rosatom, began in Antalya alongside the UN COP31 climate conference. Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev opened the youth program, while the forum is dedicated to the upcoming launch of the first power unit at the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant.
The international World Atomic Days 2026 forum began in Antalya alongside the 31st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31). The forum is held with the support of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the World Nuclear Association and the BRICS Nuclear Energy Platform, Rosatom said.
Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev opened the forum’s youth program. “Here in Antalya, alongside the UN COP31 climate conference, we are discussing the contribution of nuclear energy and technology to the green future of our planet. Today, the nuclear industry needs talent,” he said, noting that the forum continues the dialogue launched at World Atomic Week in Moscow in 2025.
Russia’s Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, World Nuclear Association Director General Sama Bilbao y León and chief coordinator of the BRICS Nuclear Energy Platform Elsie Pule addressed the participants. Representatives of the China National Nuclear Corporation and the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation also took part in a discussion on training personnel for a technological breakthrough.
The forum’s business program will run for two days and bring together around 300 participants. Its central event will be the plenary session “Nuclear Energy for People and the Planet,” featuring Alexey Likhachev. The forum is dedicated to the upcoming launch of the first power unit at the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, which Rosatom is building in Türkiye’s Mersin province.
A day earlier, Minister Reshetnikov and COP31 President Murat Kurum, Türkiye’s minister of environment, signed an agreement on cooperation in the field of climate change in Antalya.
