What kind of gas will be used?
Astrakhan, Tyumen or condensate?
That I don't know.
What shape is the site in now?
There is a construction settlement, about 20 buildings. They are
assembled houses, people dubbed them Berlins or Brandenburgs

but there is a directorate and an operational construction team.
They are standing by to start the construction. In the meantime,
contact has been established between the directorate and the
public. The nuclear power plant project left them the legacy of
poor mutual relations. Now things have changed. The EIA has
been revised a number of times. Whenever people said they did
not trust the authors of the EIA, the director spared no money to
invite experts chosen by the public rather than by the directorate.
