The first group of Vietnamese nuclear experts arrived at Volgodonsk
nuclear power plant in Russia ’s Saratov province on March 19 to
take part in advanced practical training under a cooperation agreement.
Over their 18-month stay, they will be exposed to
practices to sharpen their professional skills before returning to work
at Vietnam ’s first nuclear power plant which is expected to be built
in the central province of Ninh Thuan with Russian support.
The training is part of the agreement signed between Atomenergoproekt
Company of Russia and Song Da Corporation of Vietnam in 2012.
Accordingly, as many as 900 Vietnamese construction workers and
engineers will participate in professional training courses at the
Volgodonsk plant between 2013 and 2015.
