Abu Dhabi: The Gulf states are expected to begin building a nuclear industry as a "sustainable and clean" source of power by 2009, a top official said yesterday.

The Gulf Cooperation Council [GCC], which comprises six countries, wants to harness nuclear energy to offset the depletion of oil and gas reserves, Abdullah Hamad Al Attiyah, the Qatari Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy and Industry, told Gulf News in an interview here yesterday.

"Oil and gas reserves will be exhausted sooner or later; 70 or 100 years is a long time for us, but not for our nations," he said.

Al Attiyah said the GCC is currently conducting a wide-ranging study on the use of nuclear energy as a main source of power in the future.
