Russia is ready to build nuclear power plants of different kinds in Namibia, Russia's prime minister said Saturday. Mikhail Fradkov, currently on a visit to the African country, said after talks with its leaders that Russia was considering the construction of mini-plants and floating nuclear power plants that would use uranium or operate without using it.

"These are issues still to be discussed," he said.

The prime minister did not specify which Russian companies could work in the sector, saying only that the list of such companies was not limited and that Namibian leaders confirmed that there would be room for many.

Mitsubishi Heavy Set For Big US Nuclear Order

Tokyo (AFP) March 14, 2007
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries said Wednesday that it expects an order worth about 5.2 billion dollars for two nuclear reactors from US power giant TXU, breaking new ground for a Japanese company. The two reactors, which have a power generation capacity of 1,700 megawatts, will be constructed once the Texas energy group formally receives permission from US authorities to import them, a spokesman for the Japanese group said.
