Russia and Egypt are preparing documents on cooperation in civilian nuclear generation, Russia's minister of industry and energy said Tuesday.

Since Egypt announced the resumption of its peaceful nuclear development program and a decision to build three 600-megawatt nuclear power plants in September 2006, the country has considered involving either Russian, Chinese or U.S. experts in the projects.

"The Federal Agency for Nuclear Power and Egypt's Ministry of Electricity and Energy are drafting new documents on cooperation in this field. We believe this not only corresponds to the spirit of our relations, but is also in line with the understanding of prospects for energy development in the long term," Viktor Khristenko, who is in Egypt, said.
