**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the development of energy resources in developing countries, including financing, exploration, and planning. It also mentions the role of nuclear power plants and new and renewable sources of energy. The focus is on the international level, with references to the United Nations and its agencies. This suggests that the text is concerned with international cooperation and development, rather than a specific sector like agriculture or industry.
