MOSCOW, November 24 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's nuclear fuel producer and supplier TVEL and Ukraine's national nuclear energy generating company Energoatom held talks Friday on nuclear fuel supplies to Ukraine in 2007, the Russian company said.

TVEL, one of the world's largest nuclear fuel producers and suppliers, said the two companies discussed long-term cooperation, taking into account Ukrainian and Russian national interests.

Russia's Federal Nuclear Power Agency (Rosatom) said in early November that Russia plans to raise the price of enriched uranium it supplies for Ukraine's nuclear power plants in 2007.

Russia is currently supplying uranium fuel for 15 nuclear power generating units of Ukraine's NPPs in 2006 under a contract signed in January by TVEL and Energoatom.
