2 April 2007 - Russia and Kazakhstan may build a nuclear power plant together in the Kazakh port of Aktau, a Russian official has said.

According to Russian Federal Nuclear Power Agency chief Sergei Kiriyenko, the two countries are well-suited for such a partnership because Russia has highly developed uranium enrichment facilities and Kazakhstan is the world's second-largest producer of uranium.

"Kazakhstan and Russia are leaders in the sector and integration will enable us to enhance our positions on the world market," Kiriyenko said.

The two countries agreed to work on developing a plant but no timetable for building one has been decided.

The Russian nuclear official was in Kazakhstan with a delegation headed by Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov.

Fradkov said the two countries talked about joint chemical and petrochemical ventures, RIA Novosti reported.
