Russia's former atomic energy minister offered top job at new nuclear agency
A spokesman at the agency said that "no fundamental changes will take place in the practical work of the Russian atomic department, either within the country or abroad". However, he continued, "the agency has greater powers to manage state assets and supervise the activities of enterprises, firms, companies and corporations in the atomic sector".

He recalled that Russian specialists are building generating units at nuclear power stations in such countries as China, India and Iran.
