Russian and Ukrainian experts will discuss nuclear cooperation and the development of their countries' nuclear power industries at an annual conference to be held in the Moscow Region.

Representatives of Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom, nuclear fuel company TVEL, nuclear power plant operator Rosenergoatom, Ukraine's Fuel and Energy Ministry and other organizations will deliver speeches.

Earlier Rosatom head Sergei Kiriyenko said the prospects of integrating the Russian and Ukrainian nuclear power industries are real.

Ukraine's cabinet on September 22 approved TVEL as the winner of the tender to build a nuclear fuel plant in the country. The plant is to come online in 2014.
