HANOI (Reuters) -- Vietnam will amend its national power development plan, known as PDP8, to include options for nuclear energy and hydrogen, the Minister of Industry and Trade said on Monday.

The PDP8 will be amended in a way to also add more renewables to the mix, including solar and wind, Nguyen Hong Dien told the National Assembly at a meeting in Hanoi.
