Nuclear Plants Plan Unveiled by Egypt

Egypt is planning to build a number of nuclear power stations to generate electricity. They have decided to go ahead with their program because energy security is such an important factor in Egypt's development. They announced plans last year to revive civilian nuclear activities but at the time they spoke of building a single power station. The United States said it will offer its cooperation in the project. US officials insist there is no comparison between peaceful use of nuclear technology by Egypt and Iran's controversial nuclear program.
