Egyptians Fight Back Against Nuclear Power Plans
From JPost
Egyptian environmental and human rights activists launched a grassroots protest campaign this week against plans to construct a large-scale nuclear power plant on the country’s northwestern coast.
In 1981, then-president Hosni Mubarak issued a decree to build the 55 sq.km. plant in the town of El-Dabaa in Egypt’s Matrouh governorate, as part of a push to develop the country’s civilian nuclear program.
