Rwanda will build a test nuclear power reactor using a novel technology under an agreement between the East African country and a Canadian-German company called Dual Fluid Energy Inc, Rwanda’s atomic energy regulator said.

The reactor will use an innovative technique developed by the startup company using liquid fuel and lead coolant, resulting in less radioactive waste, the Rwanda Atomic Energy Board said in a statement.

The demonstration reactor is expected to be operational by 2026 and the subsequent testing of the Dual Fluid technology is to be completed by 2028.
