Amid stress from Iran, the US and Bahrain have entered into an important agreement for cooperation in peaceful nuclear power. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Bahrain Foreign Minister Dr. Abdul Latif bin Rashid Al Jayani signed this agreement.

The agreement is named Civil Nuclear Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (NCMOU), which is aimed at supporting each other in peaceful use of nuclear power, strengthening energy security and furthering economic partnership.

The US and Bahrain are already partners close to each other in the areas of security, energy and trade. The new agreement will strengthen the relationship between the two countries. In this, special attention has been paid to aspects like nuclear security, safe use of technology and preventing nuclear weapons spread. The agreement is part of a significant diplomatic initiative developed in the first term of President Trump to establish strong strategic relations between the US and Bahrain. Its purpose is also to provide opportunities for the American industry and the workforce on the global platform.

America will help in technology and training

As part of this agreement between the US and Bahrain, Washington, Manama will be supported by nuclear research, technology, safety standards and expert training. The deal is being considered a big step in that direction by Bahrain by 2060.

SMR: Clean Energy Compact Options for Bahrain

Small modular reactors (SMRS) can prove to be very effective for a small country like Bahrain. These reactors take less space, are less expensive and are easy to have operations. Like the UAE, Bahrain is also preparing for SMR based energy production with the help of foreign experts.

Technical partnership with investment also deep

Along with this nuclear cooperation, Bahrain has also announced an investment of $ 17 billion in the US. This investment will be made in areas such as aviation, technology and manufacturing. Apart from this, there is also a plan of an 800 km long submarine fiber optic cable project, which will connect Bahrain to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq.

Bahrain-American relationships are getting stronger

Bahrain and America relationships are not limited to energy just. The US Navy’s Fifth Fleet is also headquartered in Bahrain. There are already many agreements like free trade agreement and Abraham Accords between the two countries. Now this nuclear deal will work to further strengthen these strategic relationships.
