In the seventies of the twentieth century, Iraq emerged as a state having a significance and an influence in the Arabic and regional levels.

From this point, Iraq looked forward strong and developed economic relations with the Soviet Union .The research dealt with Iraq’s relationships with the Soviet Union, in the energy domain, offering the cooperation in the field of electric power and atomic energy during the period 1968-1979, by building electrical energy generating stations and extending networks .Energy cooperation has contributed greatly in the development of economic relationships between the two countries, especially since the Soviet Union was one of the first countries that helped Iraq to use atomic energy for peaceful purposes as well as electrical energy, this was a reason of signing more protocols and agreements between the two countries .Through the present research, the researcher has reached logical conclusions , energy cooperation between Iraq and the Soviet Union, the most important, perhaps, is building electrical stations and nuclear reactor
