Now, there is a small, but critical, renewal of effort and interest. Angola Minister of Science and Technology João Baptista Ngandajina said recently that his “country has limitation in the production of electricity, so why not start thinking of projects that in future could produce power from nuclear sources?” according to an online report by Macauhub Today May 7. Macauhub is a news service of the Macau government, used to foster business deals between the People’s Republic of China and countries with Portuguese as an official language.

"What we plan to do here is the scientific development linked to nuclear energy: staff training, development of projects that help the economic and social development of the country,” Ngandajina said. Angola is now finalizing a Nuclear Energy Law to facilitate research projects and staff training, according to the report, which also points out that the new law is part of a plan to build nuclear power plants in Angola, supported by the People’s Republic of China.
