Jordan Eyes Canadian Nuclear Reactor Deal
[Globe and Mail-Canada] Mark MacKinnon - Jordan is hoping to become the latest Middle Eastern country to acquire nuclear power and is looking for Canadian help to achieve that goal, King Abdullah II said in an interview prior to a visit to Canada. The director of the king's office, Bassem Awadallah, said the Jordanian delegation planned to discuss the purchase of Candu heavy-water reactors with the Canadian government. King Abdullah said Jordan hopes to have a nuclear plant in operation by 2015 for power generation and water desalination.
