Russia is ready to take part in a tender for the construction of a nuclear power plant in Indonesia, to be announced by 2008, the country's nuclear chief said. Russia and Indonesia signed an agreement to cooperate in the nuclear energy sphere during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, on a three-day visit to Russia.

Russia's Atomstroyexport, which is currently building five nuclear power plants in China, India and Iran on contracts worth $4.5 billion, won a tender to build two 1,000-megawatt reactors in Bulgaria on October 30.
