Russia's state-owned nuclear energy giant Rosatom is buying Germany's Nukem Technologies, a specialist in decommissioning nuclear power stations, a Nukem spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Nukem Technologies, a part of Nukem Group, also deals with nuclear waste management and has major operations in Russia and the former Soviet bloc.
Rosatom is already in a nuclear energy joint venture with Germany's Siemens.
The deal comes after Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and German Chancellor Angela Merkel last week called for a "strategic" economic partnership between their two countries following talks in the Russian city of Sochi.
