Russian nuclear agency chief Sergei Kiriyenko and Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro signed a deal on "the construction and use of an atomic power station on the territory of Venezuela," after the talks.

Chavez, who rules South America's biggest oil producer, has said he wants the nuclear power station to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Medvedev hinted that Chavez's foe, the United States, might not like the deal, but said that it was peaceful.

"A deal in the atomic sphere has just been signed. I already know that it will make someone shudder. The president (of Venezuela) told me that there will states who will have different types of emotions about this," Medvedev said.
