Australia is urged to collaborate with ASEAN and the Quad to block the construction of a Russia-backed nuclear power plant in Myanmar due to regional security risks amid Myanmar's civil war and fragile governance. The project would pose risks of inadequate nuclear material security and increase the threat of nuclear trafficking and regional instability.
