MOSCOW, February 26 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's top nuclear official plans to discuss signing an intergovernmental agreement on the peaceful use of nuclear energy during his visit to Japan, a Moscow diplomatic source said Monday.
Sergei Kiriyenko, head of the Federal Agency for Nuclear Power, is included in the prime minister-led delegation scheduled to visit the country February 27-28.
The source said Kiriyenko might take part in talks on projects in which Russia would enrich uranium for Japanese nuclear power plants.
"The implementation of such projects will only be possible after a bilateral agreement on peaceful nuclear use is signed and legal subtleties are resolved," the source said.
The agency had no comment.
