Saudi Arabia plans to issue a multibillion-dollar tender in 2020 to build its first two nuclear power reactors and discuss the project with the
United States and other potential suppliers, Reuters reported.
The world's largest oil exporter wants to diversify its energy mix and increase nuclear power to free up more crude oil for export
.
But because of the technology's potential military use, the plans are facing scrutiny
in Washington.
Saudi Arabia said its plans were peaceful
.
U.
S.
, Russian, South Korean, Chinese and French companies are in talks with Riyadh to supply the reactors
.
"Saudi Arabia is continuing to take very cautious measures, albeit at a slower pace than originally expected," a source familiar with the plan told Reuters
.
Saudi officials have previously said they aim to select a supplier by the end of 2018, but the plan has been delayed until 2019
.
Sources said the tender details will be published
in 2020.
The project is moving slowly, in part because the country is still in discussions with all potential suppliers, rather than narrowing it down to a small list
, two sources said.
