MOSCOW -- Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Tuesday ordered a review of Russia's nuclear power industry after a devastating earthquake damaged one of Japan's nuclear plants.

Putin said in a meeting that he has requested the Energy Ministry, the Natural Resources Ministry, and the Russian Federal Atomic Energy Agency Rosatom to "carry out an analysis of the current condition of the atomic sector and an analysis of the plans for future development."

"We should be ready to act under any scenario," Putin said, adding that the departments should submit their assessments to the government "within a month."

Meanwhile, Rosatom CEO Sergei Kiriyenko said Russia's Far East region was not threatened by the nuclear accident in Japan, even in the worst scenario.

"Although the worst scenario of radiation coincides with the worst wind situation, no threat exists in Russia's Far East," Kiriyenko said, citing Japanese reports and Russian expert estimates.

Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant was damaged during the massive 9.0-magnitude quake and its ensuing tsunami on March 11. After the first blast in the plant, Russia began to closely monitor the radiation level, especially in the Far East.
