Russia and Myanmar to establish working body for nuclear technology

The two countries signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate in nuclear technology for peaceful purposes in June 2015.

This was the first step to building a legal foundation for interaction between Russia and Myanmar in the area of nuclear technology including research, radioisotopes production, nuclear medicine, radioimmunotherapy, nuclear safety, radiation risk assessment, and training scientists and administrators, according to Russian state-owned Rosatom Corporation.

Nikolay Drozdov, director of international business at Rosatom, told The Myanmar Times in Moscow, “We are planning to create a working body and are making a roadmap for the realisation of our project.” (Courtesy of mmtimes.com)
