ISTANBUL, Turkey, June 9 (UPI) -- Moscow and Ankara solidified their energy relationship by agreeing to cooperate in the nuclear energy sector, ministers said in Istanbul.
Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz signed a nuclear energy agreement with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin on the sidelines of a regional summit in Istanbul, Turkish daily newspaper Today's Zaman reports.
Russian and Turkish nuclear companies under the deal agreed to cooperate in nuclear regulatory, safety and fuel exchanges.
A nuclear power plant included in the agreement will be near the Mediterranean port of Akkuyu. Russia's state-run news agency RIA Novosti reports that Russian companies in Namibia will mine the uranium for the Akkuyu plant.
The plant will operate under international accords. Spent nuclear fuel in Turkey is subject to repatriation, RIA Novosti added.
The facility will be phased into service by 2019.
