Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, also the deputy premier and minister of defense, has launched Saudi Arabia's first nuclear research reactor and a center for the development of aircraft structures, the official Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

These are among seven "strategic" projects launched by the Crown Prince during his visit to the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) in Riyadh.

The projects also include those in the fields of renewable energy, atomic energy, water desalination and genetic medicine, the report said.

The Crown Prince also laid the foundation stone for a desalination plant, powered by solar energy, in Yanbu with a capacity of 5,200 cubic meters per day. It is the first industrial application model that uses desalination technology.
