Russia and Uzbekistan have signed a cooperation agreement that will see Moscow build an “integrated” nuclear power station consisting of small- and large-scale reactors in the central Asian country that will be the first of its kind in the world.

Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom said the agreement, signed in the Uzbek capital Tashkent, covers all key areas of cooperation on the nuclear construction project, including personnel training, public awareness and the creation of a “nuclear city” for worker at the facility.

“The signing of the roadmap demonstrates the comprehensive nature of the partnership between Russia and Uzbekistan in the nuclear sector, and the nuclear industry provides impetus for the development of all spheres of life,” Rosatom said.
