Tanzania turns to nuclear power

Tanzania is to start using nuclear power, after the country's parliament enacted a law last week permitting the use of uranium to produce energy. The move could make Tanzania the first country in East and Central Africa to use nuclear technology to generate electricity.

Many government representatives have welcomed the proposed shift to nuclear power, saying it will boost economic development and allow an increase in the proportion of 'clean' energy. But there is public concern that the move could cause friction if it is taken without the support of the international community.
