Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>TWO more countries \u2013 Zimbabwe and Ethiopia \u2013 have signed agreements with Russia to cooperate on the peaceful use of nuclear technology on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum in St Petersburg.<\/p>\n

The intergovernmental agreement between Russia and Zimbabwe \u2013 which follows a memorandum of understanding concluded in September 2021 \u2013 was signed by Rosatom Director General Alexei Likhachev and Zimbabwe\u2019s Energy Minister Soda Zhemu.<\/p>\n

Rosatom said: \u201cIt establishes a legal framework for cooperation between Russia and Zimbabwe in the peaceful use of atomic energy in a wide range of areas, such as assistance in the creation and improvement of Zimbabwe\u2019s nuclear infrastructure in accordance with international guidelines; regulation in the field of nuclear and radiation safety, production of radioisotopes and their use in industry, medicine and agriculture; cooperation in areas of application of radiation technologies and nuclear medicine, education, training and retraining of specialists for the nuclear industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also on the sidelines of the forum, Russia and Ethiopia signed a roadmap for bilateral cooperation in the use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes.<\/p>\n

According to Rosatom: \u201cThe roadmap defines specific steps that the parties will take in 2023-2025 to explore the possibilities of building a nuclear power plant of large or small capacity, as well as a Nuclear Science and Technology Center in Ethiopia. The parties plan to work together to develop Ethiopia\u2019s national nuclear infrastructure, organise technical tours and seminars, and meetings of specialised working groups.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday it was announced that Russia and Burundi had signed a memorandum on cooperation on peaceful use of nuclear technology, including training of personnel and applications such as medicine and agriculture in addition to production of energy.<\/p>\n

Apart from South Africa, which has had an operating nuclear energy plant for nearly four decades, the next country in Africa set to get a nuclear power plant is Egypt, where Russia\u2019s Rosatom is currently building the four VVER-1200 unit El Dabaa plant.<\/p>\n
