The Khartoum regime said it would acquire and install a nuclear reactor by 2020. Official said the reactor would be used for the generation of electricity.

"The Electricity and Dams Ministry has already started preparing for the project to produce power from nuclear energy in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and is expected to build the first nuclear power plant in the year 2020," Sudanese Atomic Energy Agency director-general Mohammed El Tayeb said.

In a statement on Aug. 22, El Tayeb said an IAEA delegation would arrive in Sudan on Aug. 23 to discuss the acquisition of a nuclear reactor, Middle East Newsline reported. The official said Khartoum began drafting nuclear plans in early 2010.

The State Department has designated Sudan a terrorist sponsor, and the International Criminal Court charged Sudanese President Omar Bashir with three counts of genocide. The department's designation has resulted in sanctions on Khartoum, supported by China and Iran.

Officials said the first stage of the program would involve nuclear research. They said IAEA would be asked to help find and deliver a reactor.
