UAE’s Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant, as the first nuclear energy plant in the Arab world, sets a new standard for all countries developing or looking to develop peaceful nuclear energy programmes, said the CEO of The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec).

It will support the case for the creation of new programmes around the world, added Mohamed Al Hammadi, addressing participants during the opening of “A New Age for Nuclear Energy” plenary session of the two-day Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum, which concluded yesterday (January 13) in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The forum was organised by the Atlantic Council in partnership with the UAE Ministry of Energy, Adnoc, Mubadala and Masdar.

Al Hammadi encouraged nuclear leaders to establish a positive dialogue with their local communities, to demonstrate how nuclear energy plants actively contribute to the community through the creation of clean electricity, development of high-value careers, economic diversification, and enhanced energy security. – TradeArabia News Service
