Cooperation. Rosatom and Vietnam have signed an inter-agency roadmap for the development of nuclear technologies through 2030. This document covers the construction of a nuclear science and technology center, fuel supply for the research reactor in Da Lat, workforce training for Vietnam’s nuclear industry, and the country’s participation in the International Research Consortium that will operate a sodium-cooled research reactor, MBIR. Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev emphasized that joint work in science and research had been a cornerstone of cooperation between the Russian nuclear corporation and Vietnam for many decades. “Soviet engineers restarted the U.S.-built research reactor in the 1980s, and now Vietnamese scientists have ordered a new research reactor from us. […] Moreover, this visit marks the transition to a new stage of cooperation, which is represented by the project to build a large nuclear power plant,” said Alexey Likhachev, commenting on the signed agreement.
