Japan to give 40 mln dlrs to dismantle Russian submarines: report
Tokyo (AFP) May 1, 2009 Japan will give another four billion yen (40 million dollars) towards an international project to dismantle decommissioned Russian nuclear submarines in the Far East, a report said Friday. The decision will be announced when Prime Minister Taro Aso meets his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on May 12 in Tokyo, Kyodo News said, citing unnamed government sources. Japan has already provided around 20 billion yen to help dismantle more than 70 retired nuclear submarines believed to have been abandoned in the Russian Far East. Many more decommissioned submarines are believed to be in Russian northwest. The dismantling will be completed in the spring of 2010 and Japan is also considering helping Russia build storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel, Kyodo said, citing Japanese diplomats.
