Sudan says Russian President Vladimir Putin has accepted an invitation from Omar al-Bashir to visit the North African country for talks on bilateral relations. This development follows a visit by Sudanese Water Resources and Electricity Minister Moataz Musa to Moscow for talks with the head of Russian state nuclear agency Rosatom on building nuclear power stations in Sudan. South Africa is the only country in Africa with a commercial nuclear power plant. Its two reactors located at the Koeberg nuclear power station produce 5% of the country’s electricity. Other African countries including Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Libya, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Senegal, Tunisia, and Uganda are considering the use of nuclear power to generate electricity.
