Russia andArgentina expand nuclear co-operation
25 January 2018
Russia and Argentina signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on 24 January to advance uranium exploration and production inArgentina.
The MOU was agreed during a visit by Argentine President Mauricio Macri to Moscow, during which he held talks with President Vladimir Putin. It was signed by Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Faurie for minister of science, technology and productive innovation Lino Baraсao and by Uranium One Group President and CEO Vasily Konstantinov as well as by Omar Adra, president of exploration company UrAmericaArgentina SA. The agreement could attract up to $250m in investments and create up to 500 jobs, according to an Argentinian foreign ministry statement.
"The signing of the memorandum seeks to position Argentina as a global uranium producer in the region and to fully satisfy Argentine demand for this metal from now on until UrAmerica starts its own production and our country gradually becomes self-sufficient in uranium",theministrysaid.UrAmerica,aprivateuraniumexploration company, based in Buenos Aires, is working to develop properties it has successfully consolidated in the Province of Chubut inArgentina, surrounding known high-grade deposits and historical mines, as well as properties in Paraguay.

nuclear fuel fabrication industry. It currently imports uranium from various countries including Russia and Kazakhstan for its own use, and for export following enrichment to other markets, including Brazil. The new agreement will help Argentina to achieve "national self-sufficiency in uranium", a government statement said.
Any uranium extraction will use in-situ recovery (ISR) supported by Canada-based Uranium One, a wholly owned subsidiary of Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom, which is the world’s fourth-largest uranium producer. Argentina’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said ISR, which does not involve mining, is "the most efficient method due to its low costs and minimal environmental impact, given that it does not requiresoilremoval".UnderitsagreementwithUraniumOne,"Argentina would thus pioneer its application in LatinAmerica", it added.
The agreement also reaffirms Rosatom’s commitment to building anuclearpowerplantinArgentina,whichhasplansfortheconstruction of two new nuclear reactors in the second half of this year. The $13bn project will reportedly be financed mostly by Chinese organisations. In a press statement following talks with Macri, Putin said: "Rosatom is proposing a nuclear power plant of Russian design in Argentina based on the latest and safest technological standards".
Russia and Argentina agreed to consider ways to expand cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy in the following areas: the nuclear fuel cycle, nuclear power generation, training and professional development of specialists, the use of nuclear and radiation technologies in medicine, industry and others.
InApril 2015, Russia andArgentina signed an MOU establishing a "framework for cooperation" for construction of a 1200MWe VVER unit. Rosatom’s Rusatom Overseas and NucleoeléctricaArgentina SA also signed a preliminary project development agreement on construction of what would beArgentina’s sixth reactor, assuming the Chinese-financed projects go ahead. Also, Russian fuel company TVELat that time signed two MOUs with the NationalAtomic Energy Commission of Argentina and the state corporation of the province Rio Negro (Republic of Argentina) INVAP, a designer of world-class research reactors and other nuclear equipment.
It followed an intergovernmental agreement signed in July 2014 on cooperation in the peaceful use of atomic energy1.

This is a major infrastructural project "proactively considered now", the Russian energy minister said.
MOSCOW, November 2. /TASS/. Russia and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding to support the project for construction of a 1,200-km long gas pipeline from Iran to India with a branch pipeline, Russian Energy MinisterAlexander Novak said on Thursday on the air with Rossiya 24 TV Channel.
"The agreement, the memorandum that was signed yesterday, focuses on cooperation in implementation of projects related to gas production in Southern Iran and supplies of this resource to India through the exclusive economic zone of Pakistan under the Persian Gulf", Novak said.
This is a major infrastructural project "proactively considered now", the minister said. "I think it is quite real for practical implementation to start shortly", Novak said.
Russia and Iran are pursuing cooperation in different areas, the minister said. "This is in the gas industry in particular. One of areas is Gazprom’s participation in provision of gas supply for Iran’s regions, construction of underground gas storages, including a gas-fired power plant, and development of fields with an opportunity of gas supplies to third countries", Novak noted.
Construction of the gas pipeline from Iran to India via Pakistan was discussed as early as in 1996. However, India dropped the project after the United States introduced sanctions against Iran in 2008 because of the nuclear program1.
