OREANDA-NEWS. On September 05, 2007 the assistant to the Russian President Sergey Prikhodko said that nuclear energy is one of the most promising spheres of cooperation between Russia and Indonesia: “Indonesia is planning to develop nuclear energy and to launch its first NPP in 2015–2016. In 2009–2010 the country will announce a relevant tender and Russia is already preparing for it.”
