The World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) has concluded that people, processes and plant at Unit 2 of the Barakah nuclear power plant under construction in the United Arab Emirates demonstrate “we are ready for operation”, operator Nawah Energy Company said on its LinkedIn page.
Nawah said WANO had completed a pre-startup review at the plant, one of four Generation III+ APR1400 at the $24bn facility.
“We now continue to safely and steadily work towards fulfilling the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation’s regulatory requirements in order to receive the operating licence,” Nawah said.
