About 15 members of an anti-nuclear group stage a rally in front of the Vietnamese embassy in Bangkok to protest against Vietnam’s planned construction of nuclear power plants. Published caption The United States and Vietnam have signed a pact allowing the transfer of nuclear technology, opening the way for US investment in the burgeoning industry in the country. US secretary of state John Kerry said the US-Vietnam Civil Nuclear Co-operation Agreement would allow US companies to tap Vietnam’s future nuclear power market, although the State Department said the deal would not allow Vietnam to enrich or reprocess nuclear materials originating in the US.
