Russia Offers India Uranium Joint Venture
Rosatom, the Russian state owned nuclear corporation, has offered cooperation to Indian companies interested in developing uranium deposits in Russia or other third world countries. This follows the announcement in April of a Russian-Indian joint venture for prospecting and mining uranium by RIA Novosti.
The Rosatom spokesman Sergei Novikov announced this on Sunday at a meeting of the Russian-Indian intergovernmental commission for trade and economic cooperation and talks with the Uranium Corporation of India.
He said that they had offered Indians a role in uranium extraction projects in Russia and in third world countries. Rosatom would however retain control over the projects that they participate in. The partnering companies may receive up to 49% of projects inside Russia.
Rosatom CEO Sergei Kiriyenko had discussions about the proposed joint ventures with Indian firms at the 16th session of Indo-Russian inter-governmental commission in New Delhi. The CEO had offered UCIL a stake in its Elkon project in South Yakutia in Russia in March during the visit of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to India.
