Algeria + Russia ink MoU to cooperate on nuclear energy: Algeria’s Ministry of Energy and Mines has signed an agreement with Russia’s state-owned nuclear energy company Rosatom to partner on the use of nuclear energy for the next two years, according to a statement last week. The two nations will cooperate on initiatives in the healthcare sector such as radiotherapy, research reactors, nuclear pharmaceutical preparations, and scientific and technical personnel training. The agreement also focuses on the development and use of other nuclear technologies.

We knew this was coming: Russia’s nuclear power company Rosatom sent a delegation to Algeria to discuss collaboration between Russia and the Atomic Energy Commission on nuclear power and its energy applications in March.
