The government of Iran is planning to partner with Uganda in utilization of nuclear potential in Africa. Currently, it is only South Africa across Africa that owns a functioning nuclear reactor.

A senior official from the government of Iran met president Museveni on Tuesday and the two leaders accepted on terms of utilizing nuclear energy in East Africa.

Uganda needs nuclear energy to boost her energy demands and desire to make some guns that she can use against her enemies like Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Iran official met Museveni after accomplishing his mission of getting details of the meeting that brought together a host of African countries that are considering putting nuclear energy on their power grids.
The Iranian official says his mother country is willing to invest in Uganda’s nuclear energy as long as Uganda stands and guards against undue interference from USA and England. Russia is another country that wants to help Uganda to establish her nuclear energy. President Yoweri Museveni says that Uganda’s energy consumption per capita is way below the threshold required for industrialization. Uganda’s Atomic Act 2008 allows foreign countries to partner with Uganda in utilization of nuclear energy.
