EMIRATES: Gulf set to go nuclear

Nuclear power plants could be built in the Gulf, following talks with international experts in Vienna.

Officials are fresh back from talks between the GCC and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), to map out the possibilities.

A final feasibility report is expected by March 5, it was revealed yesterday.

The draft report will be discussed at further GCC-IAEA talks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on October 24, according to a statement released by the Electricity and Works Ministry.

Assistant Under-Secretary for Planning and Projects Dr Khalid Burashid has just returned from the Vienna talks.


"However, it is felt necessary at this point of time to deploy the nuclear option, with technical and financial capabilities within these states, for peaceful applications, including research and development."
