“The Intergovernmental Agreement on Strategic Partnership in Nuclear Energy is focusing on Russian-technology multi-purpose nuclear research, assistance in the development of South-African nuclear infrastructure, education of South African nuclear specialists in Russian universities and other areas,” said the Department of Energy in a statement on Saturday.
The department said it had noted the on-going public discourse around the agreement it signed on behalf of government with Russian state-owned company, ROSATOM.
The agreement was signed on 22 September during Minister of Energy Tina Joemat-Pettersson’s attendance at the 58th Session of the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
