MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th February, 2020) Russia's TVEL nuclear fuel company, a subsidiary of the Rosatom state nuclear corporation, and the Spanish companies ENUSA, ENSA and IDOM have signed a memorandum to cooperate in the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear facilities and the development of technology for disposing of radioactive waste, according to a TVEL statement published on Wednesday.
The memorandum also includes commitments to increase cooperation in several upcoming projects, with a particular focus on strengthening engineering and consultancy partnerships.
