Tunisia, France strike deal on peaceful use of nuclear energy

(Comtex Community Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) TUNIS, Dec 14, 2006 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- Tunisia and France on Thursday

signed a cooperative agreement on the peaceful use of nuclear
energy.

Under the accord, the two countries will conduct cooperation on
the peaceful use of nuclear technology in areas of environmental
protection, desalination of seawater, health and power generation.

With the signing of the agreement, Tunisia ushers in a new
stage of nuclear research and development and nuclear power
generation, said Taieb Hadhri, Tunisia's minister of scientific
research, technology and capability development.

As a country deficient in petroleum resources, Tunisia attaches
great importance to the exploitation of nuclear energy, and
alternative and renewable energy sources.

In March and November, Tunisian President Ben Ali convened
separate cabinet meetings on energy issues, and decided to
research on and develop nuclear energy.
