Jerusalem. Israel wants to build a nuclear power plant, Israeli officials said yesterday, a move that could bring new attention to the country's secretive nuclear activities.
Israel's national infrastructure minister, Uzi Landau, is expected to announce the idea today at an international nuclear energy conference in Paris.
"Building a nuclear reactor to produce electricity will allow Israel to achieve energy independence and end its dependence on others," Landau said in a statement.
"Nuclear technology has many applications that can serve the goal of peace and co-operation." AP
