Bolivia to build nuclear technology research facility in El Alto

Xinhua, October 30, 2015 Adjust font size:

Bolivian President Evo Morales has accepted a proposal to build the Nuclear Technology Investigation and Development Center in the city of El Alto, an official said Thursday.

Franklin Machaca, president of the El Alto Neighborhood Council Federation, told reporters on Thursday that Morales has chosen El Alto to host the center after meeting with its representatives.

The center will bring an investment of 300 million U.S. dollars for El Alto, a city neighboring the capital La Paz.

According to Machaca, the center will cover 20 hectares of land in El Alto's District 8. He added that he hoped the facility will be put into operation by 2019.

"In the next few days, we will be inspecting the area where the nuclear investigation center will be built," said Machaca. Endi
