VN, Russia to cooperate on nuclear power

HA NOI — Nuclear energy co-operation with Russia is significantly meaningful and is a manifestation of the trust and strategic partnership defined between Viet Nam and Russia.

Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung made the statement when receiving General Director of Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation Sergei V Kirienko yesterday in Ha Noi.

Prime Minister Dung spoke highly of the negotiations between agencies of the two countries, especially the draft co-operation agreement for building the first nuclear power plant in Viet Nam.

The final agreement is scheduled to be signed during Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Viet Nam in October.

Prime Minister Dung thanked the friendly country for training Vietnamese technical staff in nuclear power plant construction and operation and for research centres, application of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes as well as technical supervision centres in Viet Nam.

Kirienko expressed Rosamtom's honour at being selected as the construction partner for Viet Nam's first nuclear power plant.

He also provided positive results in negotiating issues related to the project including technology, materials, waste treatment and nuclear security. — VNS
