Russia, Turkey to sign nuclear reactor agreement

MOSCOW — Russia and Turkey plan to sign a nuclear energy pact that would likely lead to the construction of a reactor.   

Officials said Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was scheduled to arrive in Ankara on Aug. 6 for the signing of a nuclear cooperation agreement with Turkey. They said the agreement would include Russian plans to build the first nuclear energy reactor in Turkey.

"The accord would pave the way for the nuclear energy contract," an official said.

A Russian-led consortium has been the only bidder in the project to build Turkey's first nuclear energy facility, Middle East Newsline reported. But a Turkish government panel has determined that the consortium's bid was too high.

Officials said Putin was expected to discuss the Turkish reactor project and offer incentives to Ankara. They said one prospect was Russian cooperation in the development of Turkey's crude oil and natural gas resources in the Black Sea.

Putin was expected to sign a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in crude oil, gas and nuclear energy with Turkey. The Russian prime minister has also been promoting military exports to Ankara.
