The Ninh Thuận 1 Nuclear Power Plant was a planned nuclear power plant at Phước Dinh in Thuận Nam District, Ninh Thuận Province, Vietnam. Plans for it were cancelled in 2016.[1] It would have consisted of four 1,200 MWe VVER pressurised water reactors. The plant was to be built by Atomstroyexport, a subsidiary of Rosatom. It would have been owned and operated by state-owned electricity company Vietnam Electricity. Fuel will have been supplied and used fuel will be reprocessed by Rosatom.[2] The feasibility study was to be carried out by E4 Group.[3]

The plant would have been built based on a nuclear power development plan, approved by the Vietnamese government in 2007. In 2009, Vietnam's National Assembly approved a resolution on investment policy for the project.[4] On 31 October 2010, Vietnamese government and Rosatom signed a construction agreement.[2]

Works to prepare the construction site started in December 2011.[5] Construction was to start by 2014 and the first unit to be commissioned by 2020.[2] However, in 2014, the Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung announced that the construction would be postponed until 2020 to ensure the highest degree of safety.[6] The construction is financed by the US$8 billion loan from Russia.[7]
