              Russia offers Burma nuclear reactor

              The Russian government is to discuss the
              possibility of building a nuclear reactor in
              Burma for what it describes as research
              purposes. 

              The Atomic Energy Ministry in Moscow says
              the proposal is for a joint venture to construct
              and operate the reactor. 

              It says a full scheme will be presented to the
              Russian government for approval if the
              authorities in Rangoon accept the proposal.
