\"\"<\/a>Russia agreed on Friday to build Venezuela’s first nuclear power station after talks between Presidents Dmitry Medvedev and Hugo Chavez in the Kremlin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russian nuclear agency chief Sergei Kiriyenko and Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro signed a deal on “the construction and use of an atomic power station on the territory of Venezuela” after the talks. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The deal foresees the construction of a power plant with two 1,200-megawatt nuclear reactors as well as a separate research reactor.<\/p>\n

“A deal in the atomic sphere has just been signed. I already know that it will make someone shudder. The president told me that there will states who will have different types of emotions about this,” Medvedev said, in a veiled reference to the US, the long-time foe of Chavez.<\/p>\n

“I would like to underline that our intentions are clean and open: we want our partner Venezuela to have the full range of energy choices, to have energy independence,” he said<\/p>\n

“Both Russia and Venezuela favor the development of a modern and just world order — a world order in which our future does not depend on the will or desire of any one country, its well-being or its mood,” Medvedev said.<\/p>\n

Chavez, for his part, said Venezuela, South America’s biggest oil producer, needs nuclear power to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

“We are still too dependent on oil because the Yankee empire imposed this model on us,” he said.<\/p>\n

Russia and Venezuela also have launched a joint business to tap vast oil deposits in eastern Venezuela.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
