“The parties have agreed to adopt a new agreement for cooperation in the field of peaceful use of nuclear energy and to enlarge their joint work on fast-breeder technologies,” said Sergey Novikov, representative of Rosatom.
In 1996 Russia and France signed an inter-governmental agreement for cooperation in the field of peaceful use of nuclear energy and an agreement between the Ministry of Atomic Energy of Russia and the Commission for Atom Energy of France. The Russian-French scientific-technical cooperation in the field of peaceful use of nuclear energy covers nuclear safety, innovative reactors, personnel training, nuclear fuel cycle, fundamental research, public awareness, the economic and legal aspects of nuclear power engineering.
