Israel and Syria Announce Desire to Use Nuclear Power for Electricity

Israel and Syria have both announced a desire to move their country toward nuclear power as an alternative energy source for electricity.

The two countries were participating at a conference in Paris organized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development when they made their intentions known.

Addressing Israel’s desire Infrastructure Minister Uzi Mandau told delegates at the conference, “In a region like the Middle East, we can only depend on ourselves. Building a nuclear reactor to produce electricity will allow Israel to develop energy independence.”

Israel relies on the importation of coal for much of its energy generation and has been looking to find an alternative source. That appears to be nuclear power as a site is said to already be selected for a reactor.

While a nuclear plant in Israel appears to be more acceptable to Western powers the idea of Syria holding the same capabilities has not exactly been embraced. Just two years ago an alleged nuclear facility under construction in Syria was destroyed by Israeli jets. Damascus denied U.S. accusations that the facility was a nuclear reactor intended for weapons but the International Atomic Energy Agency found unexplained traces of uranium at the site.

Despite the doubt that surrounds his country Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faysal Mekdad told the conference “The peaceful application of nuclear energy should not be monopolized by the few that own this technology but should be available equally for all.”
