Russian state nuclear energy corporation Rosatom is expected to announce
Tuesday plans to invest in the UK's ambitious new generation nuclear goals.
Rosatom head of international business Alexey Kalinin is speaking in
London before a meeting organized by the Centre for Policy Studies as part of
the Conservative Party conference where he will discuss Rosatom's willingness
to develop a new nuclear skills base in the UK.

Tuesday's announcement comes shortly after French nuclear developer
Areva backed out of plans to bid for the Horizon project with China Guangdong
