Chavez: No (Russian) Nukes

“Lo que ha pasado en las últimas horas es sumamente riesgoso y peligroso para el mundo entero, porque a pesar de la gran tecnología y los avances que tiene Japón, fíjense lo que ha venido ocurriendo con algunos reactores nucleares”,

President Hugo Chavez said that he’s halting plans to develop nuclear power in the South American country as Japan struggles to avoid a meltdown at a plant after last week’s earthquake and tsunami.

“I’m ordering Energy Minister Rafael Ramirez to freeze all nuclear power development projects for peaceful means,” Chavez said today on state television.

Chavez signed a deal with Russia’s Rosatom Corp. in October to develop nuclear power in Venezuela including a research reactor. Electricity Minister Ali Rodriguez said on Oct. 21 that Venezuela hoped to eventually produce 4,000 megawatts of nuclear power.
