Nuclear plant plans: U.S. and Kazakhstan team up; Egypt wants four

The Middle East is turning nuclear in a BIG way. Now Egypt wants to build 4 (count 'em, four) nuclear plants by 2025. That's four in 15 years. Go Egypt!



Egypt to Construct Four Nuclear Plants by 2025

And eventually they'll want more, as the Energy Minister says they're already considering how many more they'll want after 2025, since the next four are set.

U.S. and Kazakhstan Team on Nuclear Power

I don't know if this actually means they'll be building another plant, but it sounds like it:

In the area of nuclear energy, the United States and Kazakhstan intend to share expertise between national laboratories and scientific organizations that will facilitate the safe and secure development of Kazakhstan’s commercial nuclear industry.

See, Kazakhstan is the world's leading producer of uranium. They've therefore got lots of nuclear plant interest (even though they only had one plant for awhile). But Toshiba (remember, Bill Gates is working with Toshiba on neighborhood nuke plants) established a nuclear energy institute in Kazakhstan. They've got working agreements with Japan, China, South Korea, India, and Canada. So it makes sense for the U.S. to get on board the Kazakhstan nuclear train, and it doesn't hurt that we'll help on nuclear fuel security, either.
