​

The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO) and the Vietnam Atomic Energy Agency (VAEA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to allow further collaboration between the two organizations.

The agreement was signed during a visit to ANSTO by a delegation led by VAEA Director General Hoang Anh Tuan.

ANSTO CEO Adi Paterson said the MoU would give the organizations an opportunity to cooperate more closely on areas of mutual benefit. "ANSTO has worked with a variety of Vietnamese agencies for many years through multilateral fora such as the IAEA, the Regional Cooperative Agreement, and the Forum for Nuclear Cooperation in Asia", he said.

Discussions were held on possible areas for cooperation including research reactor operation and utilization, environmental monitoring of mining tails, and food provenance.
