VN seeks nuclear power infrastructure
Play
Vietnam is seeking more support from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and countries with advanced nuclear power industries to develop the infrastructure for its nuclear power programme.
A fully developed nuclear power infrastructure is considered to play a very important role for any country in ensuring the safe and successful development of a nuclear power programme.
According to the IAEA, nuclear power infrastructure covers all necessary preparations for the implementation of a nuclear power programme, from legal framework and nuclear safety to capital and human resources.
Preparations are underway for the construction of the first nuclear power plant in central Ninh Thuan Province, which is scheduled to commence construction in 2014 and expected to become operational after 2020.
