Rosatom says nearly 1,000 Turkish specialists prepare for Akkuyu
Rosatom Deputy Director General for Human Resources Tatiana Terentyeva said at a forum in Antalya that Turkish engineers have completed or are undergoing training for Türkiye’s first nuclear power plant. Türkiye’s energy minister called skilled personnel the first condition for developing the country’s nuclear program.
About 1,000 Turkish citizens have completed or are continuing training to work at the Akkuyu nuclear power plant in Mersin province. Rosatom Deputy Director General for Human Resources Tatiana Terentyeva made the statement at the World Atomic Days forum, which the state corporation is holding in Antalya alongside the UN climate conference COP31, Anadolu Agency reported.
Terentyeva said the Akkuyu project involves not only building nuclear power capacity but also training a new generation of Turkish engineers and technology specialists.
Rosatom’s personnel system
Terentyeva provided figures on Rosatom’s scale: about 418,000 people work for the state corporation, more than 16,000 of them on projects abroad, while young people account for over 30% of its workforce. More than 16,000 students undertake internships at industry enterprises each year. The company’s education system brings together schools, colleges, universities, corporate academies and digital platforms.
She also recalled the Youth Declaration on Nuclear Cooperation, prepared in 2025 at World Atomic Week in Moscow by 100 young leaders from 33 countries. The document, based on seven principles, received support from the International Atomic Energy Agency and other industry organizations.
Personnel as the first condition
Türkiye’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar also highlighted personnel training in his remarks at the opening of the forum’s business day. He called qualified personnel the first condition for achieving the goals of the national nuclear program and said Ankara was focusing on developing human resources domestically in projects with Rosatom. The minister said more than 300 graduates of Russian universities already work at Akkuyu, while the physical startup of the plant’s first reactor is expected in the coming weeks.
