Nuclear power in the United Arab Emirates
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Arab Emirates is installing nuclear-powered plants to meet their electricity demand, which is estimated to increase from 15 GWe to over 40 GWe in 2020.[1] In December 2009, the US and UAE signed a Section 123 Agreement for peaceful nuclear cooperation.[2] The UAE has also signed Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), along with the additional protocol.[3]
