FANR certifies first group of Emirati Nuclear Reactor Operators

Dubai - The first group took part in a three-year training programme developed by Enec and Nawah.

The Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR), the UAE's nuclear regulator, announced on Monday that it has certified the first group of 15 UAE National senior reactor operators and reactor operators at Nawah Energy Company, the operations and maintenance subsidiary of the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec).
This ensures their competence to operate the nuclear energy plant and the certification is a key requirement for future receipt of the Operating Licence.
The first group took part in a three-year training programme developed by Enec and Nawah, according to the regulations set out by the FANR. The training programme combines hands-on experience from some of the industry's leading engineering and nuclear energy experts with a discipline-focused curriculum, to ensure the students enter the UAE's nuclear energy industry with world-class training.
