Bolivia Set to Sign Cooperation Deal With Russia's Rosatom

On Friday, Bolivian Hydrocarbons and Energy Minister Luis Alberto Sanchez announced plans to visit Russia later this month to sign a cooperation agreement with Russian state-owned nuclear energy corporation Rosatom, RIA Novosti reports.

Set to visit the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which runs from June 18-20, Sanchez stated that he was "invited to propose the possibilities for doing business in Bolivia. In addition, we will sign an agreement, a memorandum with Rosatom."

According to Sanchez, in addition to electricity, Bolivia is interested in using nuclear technology in the fields of industry, medicine, and science. By 2020, the Andean nation has plans to create its first research reactor.

Bolivian President Evo Morales voiced his country's intention to launch a peaceful nuclear program in 2014, committing to invest $2 billion for the program by 2025. Bolivia has already presented its proposals to the International Atomic Energy Agency, and signed a cooperation agreement on peaceful nuclear energy use with neighboring Argentina.

Rosatom, a state-owned monopoly corporation established in 2007, is charged with the regulation of all nuclear assets in Russia, and is also responsible for the provision of nuclear technology, fuel, and other materials and services for peaceful purposes to dozens of nations. Russia is presently involved in the construction of over a third of all nuclear reactors worldwide.

Russian Shipyard OSK Planning to Sue Ukraine for Failing to Deliver Frigate Engines

... and USNI News yesterday:
Russian Navy Faces Surface Modernization Delays Without Ukrainian Engines, Officials Pledge to Sue
The modernization of Russia’s surface fleet — already behind schedule — could face additional delays due to Ukraine’s decision to stop selling the Russian Navy gas turbine engines crucial to two new ship classes.

Russian shipbuilder United Shipbuilding Corporation issued a statement on Monday saying due to the Ukrainian arms embargo, Russia will employ jet engine manufacturer Saturn to build the gas turbines for Admiral Grigorovich-class (Project 11356) and Admiral Gorshkov-class guided missile frigates (Project 22350) frigates currently under construction.

In addition to procuring a domestic gas turbine for the two classes, USC has pledged to sue the Ukrainian government to get the engines the company said it has already paid for.

. Originally established in World War II, the company was a center of Soviet maritime gas turbine design and production. Following the Cold War the company continued to supply the engines for the Russian surface fleet and export ships until the Russian seizure of the Ukrainian region of Crimea and the subsequent arms embargo.

The first three 3,850-ton Grigorovich frigates and the first two 4,550-ton Gorshkovs are already equipped with Ukrainian gas turbines, according to USC. Russia has said it plans to build at least eight of the larger Gorshkovs and the Russians have ordered six of the smaller Grigorovich ships.

According to USC, the new engines are slated to come online in 2017 or 2018 and the frigates with the new engines will transfer to the Russian Navy around 2020.

However, the Russian defense industry has been preformed poorly meeting deadlines in the last several years and the timelines set out by USC will be likely be difficult to meet, Eric Wertheim author of

told USNI News on Tuesday.
“I don’t think anything the Russian defense industry has been timely, he said.
“That’s the reason the looked to France for amphibious assault ship and why the aircraft they made for India was so late.”

While Russia is second only to the U.S. in submarine manufacturing, its surface ship construction has suffered since the end of the Cold War.

While Saturn is known for producing quality jet engines it’s unclear how successful they’ll be in developing domestic gas turbines.

“It’s a very complex thing they’re trying to replicate. It’s going to have a significant impact on their surface navy modernization. They’re probably going to use it as an excuse down the line.” Wertheim said.
“They might have better luck going to court.”

The admission from USC is the latest in a series setbacks for the Russian surface enterprise. Last year a deal for two French Mistral-class amphibious warships went sour when the French government blocked the transfer of the two ships to the Russian Navy due to ongoing allegations the Russians were providing material support to separatist forces along its border with Ukraine.
