Russia’s state-owned nuclear holding company has extended APCO Worldwide’s public affairs and communications support contract six months through Sept. 30 for a $1M.
That sum includes an 18 percent value-added tax that is paid by client Techsnabexport directly to the budget of the Russian Federation, according to the contract.
The Washington-based independent firm works the State/Energy Depts. and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission on the implementation of the nuclear agreement inked in January by Russia and the U.S. to foster cooperation in development of peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
The PR firm also seeks joint venture opportunities for Rosatom in uranium enrichment based on Russian technology.
