Prof. S.Enkhbat, Chairman of NuclearEnergy Agency, has said Mongolia has to take big strides in the field of
nuclear science studies, and their application to industry. “It is not enough to
have just academics. We must also have a sizable number of our own
professionals,” he says. Unfortunately, at the moment there are almost no
proper research facilities in the country as no investment was made in this
sector in the last 20 years.
Asked by the Mongolian Mining
Journal how Mongolia plans to balance the
specific interests of the several different countries that are interested in
its uranium sector, Enkhbat said the Government’s policy has been clear right
from the start. “Rather than working with any one country, we have opted
for many partners,” and investment from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait is expected
soon. “The Mongolian Government will not have any shares in all these
investment to control the interests of any of these countries; rather, the job
of our Government is to define policy parameters, systemize regulatory
principles, and provide fair and untroubled working conditions for them.”
