On February 6, Alexey Likhachev, Director General of ROSATOM, and Dr. Myo Thein Kyaw, Minister of Science and Technology of the Union of Myanmar, signed the intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in the field of peaceful use of nuclear energy. The ceremony was held in the presence of the Chairman of the State Board of Trustees, Myanmar Prime Minister Min Aung Hlaing. This step is an essential step to develop the relations between Russia and Myanmar in the nuclear sector and implies a strong impetus for the development of natural sciences as well as higher and professional education.

 

The objectives of the partnership

The Chairman of the Board of Directors emphasized that this agreement represents a partnership not only for small nuclear power plants (SNPP), but also for the many applications related to atomic technologies that will allow the country to initiate socio-economic development. For his part, Alexey Likhachev, CEO of Rosatom, said that this day marked a historic turning point in bilateral relations between Russia and Burma. He also emphasized the advantages offered by this collaboration: regularity and reliability provided at a stable price thanks to this energy powered by atomic technologies.

 

The Nuclear Technology Information Center

The Nuclear Technology Information Center in Yangon is the 25th center opened by Rosatom and the 6th internationally. It will serve to find scientific solutions but also initiate an interest in all aspects of scientific research associated with the nuclear field. The center will also facilitate the training of new skilled personnel to create a stable domestic industry around atomic technologies that can greatly benefit the Burmese industrial sector.
