South Africa Signs Nuclear Power Deal With Russia

South Africa signed a nuclear power cooperation deal with Russia on Monday that paves the way for the building of up to 9.6 GW of nuclear power plants based on Russian technology by 2030, state nuclear firm Rosatom said in a statement.

"This agreement opens up the door for Africa to access Russian technologies, funding, infrastructure, and provides proper and solid platform for future extensive collaboration," South African energy minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson said in the statement.
