Besides, there will be training courses for representatives of the media and civil servants in the information and communications sector.
The MoU was inked after a two-day meeting held for the ministry and ROSATOM to discuss issues like legal framework, nuclear safety, peaceful use of nuclear power, research and development (R&D), reactor research and Vietnam-Russia cooperation in nuclear power for peaceful purposes.
