Mongolia's small nuclear power plant plans and talks with Rosatom (RITM-200 offered)

Mongolia is studying nuclear power and says an SMR is being considered because of its sparse population and low demand. Rosatom presented an SMR concept in 2023 and offers RITM-200 reactors, the New Kharkhorin area is described as one potential location and a parliamentary vice-speaker cited talks about the Mardai uranium deposit, and in June 2026 the energy minister expressed interest in cooperating on a basic study. No agreement to build, site or design has been decided.
