With construction of Unit 1 recently completed by the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec) and joint venture partner, the Korea Electric Power Corporation (Kepco), Nawah has completed an operational readiness review to generate an updated schedule for the start-up of the first peaceful nuclear energy reactor in the Arab world.
The results of Nawah's review forecast that the loading of nuclear fuel assemblies required to commence nuclear operations at Barakah Unit 1 will occur between the end of 2019 and early 2020.
The review was led by Nawah's team of nuclear experts as well as Enec and international nuclear experts. Only after all preparations for nuclear operations are successfully completed and Nawah has received an operating licence for Unit 1 from FANR will operators begin to load nuclear fuel assemblies and initiate operations.
"Nawah's commitment to meet the highest standards of quality and safety is the main driver for all our work," said Mark Reddemann, CEO of Nawah. "As a result, our review relied on global nuclear standards to analyse the remaining work required for nuclear operations, and we are confident that this new projection for fuel load gives Nawah a nuclear-centric and conservative schedule to deliver nuclear operations in alignment with the highest standards of safety and quality."
Reddemann added: "Unit 1 is the pioneering nuclear energy reactor in the UAE and will set the benchmark for the three remaining units of the Barakah plant.
