Russia proposes setting up an international cooperation program on the development and use of fast-breeder research reactors, the head of the Rosatom state-controlled nuclear corporation said on Monday.
"I would like to propose that the states concerned launch an international program of multilateral cooperation in the research and development of fast-breeder reactors," Sergei Kiriyenko said, adding it should also include research into safety procedures.
Russia is ready to consider using a multifunctional fast-breeder research reactor, which should be built by 2017, for broad cooperation, both on a multilateral and bilateral basis.
