Russian aluminum producers sign up to invest in nuclear power

A couple of Russian producers have recently signed MOU’s to support research and development of new nuclear power plants by the Federal Agency for Atomic Energy. You can learn more by reading an article in the Jamaica Gleaner News titled Russian aluminium producers eye new nuclear power plants.

I think I saw this same story from a different source recently, but I cannot seem to find it right now.
