South Africa, France Sign Nuclear Deal

Monday, October 13, 2014

South Africa will sign a nuclear cooperation agreement with France to develop nuclear energy, although no further details were released.

This deal follows a similar agreement made with Russia which sparked outrage as it suggested that a Russian firm had already been chosen to develop eight nuclear reactors totaling around $50 million. Allegations surfaced as a result, accusing the government of trying to avoid the procurement process.
