Putin to chair meeting on Russia's nuclear energy sector Saturday
YUZHNO-SAKHALINSK, March 19 (Itar-Tass) -- Russia's Prime Minister
Vladimir Putin will chair a meeting on development of Russia's nuclear
energy sector.
The meeting will analyse situation in Russia's nuclear industry and will discuss plans to build new nuclear power stations, Press Secretary of Prime Minister, Dmitry Peskov said on Saturday.
Earlier, Putin ordered Head of Rosatom, Sergei Kiriyenko, to analyse within a month's time all plans to construct new energy blocks and exploitation of the working stations.
Besides, the meeting will discuss fuel and energy complex in the Far East, including pricing policies for gas in Sakhalin. On Thursday, Putin addressed ministers of finance and energy to pay special attention to this aspect.
Putin will discuss with ministers and oil and gas companies how to
build up supplies of energy resources to Japan, where energy producing
facilities are forecasted to become insufficient following the calamities which happened there.
Over the working trip, Putin will participate in launching of gas
supplies in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and will meet with the region's Governor
Alexander Khoroshavin.
Besides, the government said that Putin intends to see for his own
that the Far East is not at risk after the accident at the Fukushima-1
nuclear power station.
Following the earthquake and the tsunami, Japan asked Russia to
increase supplies of energy resources. Vladimir Putin then ordered
ministers to see how supplies may be increased and ordered to speed up oil and gas projects in the Far East, including launch of the Sakhalin-3 project and construction of the third stage of Sakhalin's LNG plant.
Earlier, Russia's Minister of Energy Sergei Shmatko said that Russia's increased gas supplies to Japan may be made via the Sakhalin-2 project, and in medium term, they may use the Sakhalin-3 project. Russia is prepared to build up its supplies of coal short-term.
"Our companies will give their plans promptly and we shall have
necessary talks with the Japanese side," he said adding that the key issue is how much coal Japan is prepared to accept.
