Hungary and Uzbekistan, which is considering building its first commercial nuclear power plant, have announced a “comprehensive nuclear cooperation programme” that will include technical cooperation and training.
Hungarian foreign minister Peter Szijjarto announced after a meeting with his Uzbek counterpart Vladimir Norov that the programme could see a nuclear power plant being planned in Uzbekistan use a Hungarian cooling system.
Under the agreement, 170 students from Uzbekistan will be able to study in Hungary under scholarships every year.
The two countries are also planning a research and development programme on nuclear fuel elements.
