Vietnam's National Assembly approved restarting the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project in November 2024, projecting completion of a 4 GW plant by 2030. Vietnam has signed nuclear cooperation MoUs with Russia's Rosatom and resumed working-level talks with South Korea. The project was originally approved in 2009 and cancelled in 2016 before being revived amid growing energy demand. Vietnam enacted a new Atomic Energy Law in June 2025 and an IAEA Phase 2 INIR mission was conducted in December 2025; the plan envisages commissioning Ninh Thuan 1 and 2 during 2030-2035 with total capacity of 4,000-6,400 MW, and Rosatom's VVER-1200 is cited as the technology in one record. On March 23, 2026 Vietnam and Rosatom signed an intergovernmental agreement for Ninh Thuan 1, two VVER-1200 units totalling 2,400 MW; Vietnam aims to bring the first station online before the end of 2031.
