President Wade Scraps Nuclear Power Plans After Japan Quake
Friday, 01 April 2011 17:04
Bloomberg - Senegal canceled plans to build what would have been the first African nuclear power plant outside of South
Africa, President Abdoulaye Wade told a cabinet meeting yesterday. The West African nation had ordered nuclear equipment from a Russian company, Wade said in an e-mailed statement, without identifying the company.
In the aftermath of a March 11 earthquake in Japan, which has placed the Pacific nation’s nuclear reactors at risk, Wade canceled that order, according to the statement.
