Nuclear power plant for Morocco


Russia's nuclear equipment export monopoly Atomstroyexport has announced that it plans to build a nuclear power plant in Morocco.



Atomstroyexport officials arrive March 19 in Morocco for a working visit to discuss the prospects of developing Morocco's nuclear power industry.

During the visit, Atomstroyexport representatives plan to visit the Sidi Boulbra site where Morocco's first nuclear power plant is expected to be built. The company's managers and experts are in talks with Morocco's National Electricity Office on the drafting of a feasibility study for the country's first NPP.

Atomstroyexport has also supplied relevant Moroccan organizations with information on Russian nuclear power plant technologies, the press office said.

Atomstroyexport is currently building five nuclear reactor blocks for NPPs in China, India and Iran. In October 2006, the company won a tender to build a plant in Belene, Bulgaria.
