Leadership team..to present latest project updates and next steps

Enec forums to create nuclear energy awareness

ABU DHABI, December 15, 2014

The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec) will hold a public forum on December 16 in Silla in the Western Region and another one on December 17 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The public forums are held as part of Enec’s ongoing commitment to community engagement which focuses on education and awareness of nuclear energy as the company develops the nation’s first nuclear power plant under the UAE’s peaceful nuclear energy programme, said a statement.

Mohamed Al Hammadi, chief executive officer, as well as members of the senior leadership team, will present the latest project updates and next steps to attendees, who will include residents from the Western Region and Abu Dhabi as well as other interested stakeholders.

“Enec is building the UAE’s first nuclear power plant to the highest standards of safety, efficiency and operational excellence,” said Al Hammadi.

“An important part of the project is our communications and outreach programme where we inform and educate UAE residents about nuclear energy, and how it will play an important part in the growth of the country’s economic development.”

“Nuclear power will contribute a vital amount of energy to power the growth of industries and business and provide highly-skilled local jobs for the long-term benefit of the nation,” he said.

Enec has already been active in supporting local cultural and recreation facilities and has hosted more than 16 community forums which were attended by more than 6,000 people in most UAE cities such as Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ras Al Khaima, Madinat Zayed, and Ruwais in the Western Region.

It aimed at raising awareness on nuclear energy in the UAE for local residents, build trust with the public and stakeholders and correct misconceptions about nuclear energy.

The forum, which will be conducted in Arabic in Silla and Arabia with English translation in Abu Dhabi, is open to all residents and will provide an interactive and open platform where the public can learn about how a nuclear power plant works and key updates from the programme.

The forums will also include open Q&A sessions where attendees can raise questions directly with Emirati experts and receive direct responses.

Enec will discuss topics such as radiation, the efficiency of nuclear energy, and training and development of local talent through its Energy Nuclear Pioneers Program. - TradeArabia News Service
