- Nuclear energy in Burma
-
On 15 May 2007, Burma and Russia signed an agreement to construct a nuclear research center in Burma. The center will comprise a 10 MWt light water reactor working on 20%-enriched U-235, an activation analysis laboratory, a medical isotope production laboratory, silicon doping system, nuclear waste treatment and burial facilities.[1] Groups such as Greenpeace are concerned that such technology may pose possible security threats.[2]
