Oman Opts Not to Pursue Atomic Power

Oman Opts Not to Pursue Atomic Power

Oman has chosen not to purse a domestic atomic energy capability out of safety concerns, the sultanate's foreign minister revealed in a recent television interview.
Foreign Minister Youssef bin Alawi bin Abdullah said the 2011 nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant in Japan played a significant role in the government's decision to give up its earlier nuclear energy goal, the Qatar News Agency reported.http://www.nti.org/gsn/article/oman-opts-not-pursue-atomic-power/
