     RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT  FINANCE THE CONSTRUCTION
     OF MOCHOVICE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN SLOVAKIA

MOSCOW, JULY 2 (EDI), - The Russian government passed a proposal for
financial  aid  to  the Slovak government for the construction of
Mochovce Nuclear Power Plant in Slovakia.  According to the agreement,
Russia will  spend US $ 80 million for the first phase of construction
(2 VVER-type reactors,  440 MW each). This proposed aid program is ba-
sed on the agreement of November 27,  1980 between USSR and Czechoslo-
vakia, "On Cooperation Between the Governments of the USSR  and  Czec-
hoslovakia on  Construction  of  the Nuclear Power Plant,  Mochovce ."
The current proposal offers Slovakia US $50 million in cash credit and
an additional US $30 in services for construction of the above-mentio-
ned facility .
     Also according to this agreement, the government of Slovakia gua-
rantees that  they  will purchase nuclear fuel need for this plant and
other Slovakian nuclear power plants from the Russian  Federation  for
as long as these plants continue to operate.
     The proposal is pending approval of the Slovak government, as is,
or with non-substantial changes or additions.  The
Ministries of  Foreign Economic Relations,  Atomic Energy and Finances
of the Russian Federation will hold negotiations with their Slovak co-
unterparts.

>Foundation.  The ECM initiative represents a view of
>manufacturing that includes the broad social and technological
>aspects of the design, synthesis, processing, and use of products
>in continuous and discrete manufacturing industries.  It
>addresses the environmental impact of the interrelated decisions
>that are made at various stages of a product's life; from
>conception to design, raw material consumption, synthesis,
>processing, use, recycling, and/or disposal.  The initiative aims
>to produce research advances by enabling researchers from
>disciplines that have not traditionally been involved in the
>solution of environmental problems to adapt their specialized
>expertise to the solution of such problems; and further, to
>develop a partnered research community that is kept intimately
>familiar with the state of both domestic and foreign ECM
>technology and informed about the regulatory and legislative
>context in which their results will be applied.  Illustrative
>examples of possible research projects include: Systems Issues,
