MOSCOW, November 17 (RIA Novosti) - Russia provides 10% of the fuel used in Japanese nuclear power plants, a specialist at the Far East Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences said Thursday.
"The key objectives of Japan's energy strategy for the medium term are to permanently reduce the share of oil in the country's power system and increase the share of natural gas and nuclear fuel. We are already working in this field," Viktor Pavlyatenko said at a round table on Russian-Japanese cooperation.
Russia and Japan have a long-term agreement on natural gas exports, Pavlyatenko said.
"Russia and Japan will cooperate to ensure energy security in North-East Asia as a whole," he said.
