Georgia Denies Uranium Enrichment Rumors
2012-03-07 13:17:32 | Georgia | World News
The government of Georgia `categorically denies' rumors that it was
preparing to enrich uranium and considered building a nuclear power
plant.
A CNN iReport blogger wrote that uranium enrichment facilities were
being prepared at Georgia's Delta military center.
`This entry in the CNN iReport blog is, of course, a hoax,' Georgia's
First Deputy Energy and Natural Resources Minister Mariam Valishvili
said, adding that the report could be a deliberate provocation and was
not an official CNN report.
She also denied reports that the Georgian administration planned to
build a nuclear power plant in the country.
Georgian Energy Minister Alexander Khetaguri earlier said his country
might need a nuclear power plant in 30 years.
`Georgia has neither need nor capability to carry out such plans to
date. But it's hard to predict what will happen in 30-50 years,'
Valishvili said.
