Russia, Ukraine to Agree on Nuclear Fuel by Year-End
Russia plans to complete by this year-end the negotiations with Ukraine under the new 15-year contract for the nuclear fuel supplies to the nuclear plants of the country, said Rosatom Deputy General Director Nikolay Spassky.
“Current contracts expire in 2010. The procedure for shaping a new contract is underway. It is the question of 15-year contract,” Spassky told the reporters on Monday.
Asked about the approximate date of completing negotiations with Ukraine, the official said that they hope to do it by this year-end but it could be longer actually.
