ABU DHABI, UAE – The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) is likely to display the success of UAE nuclear energy sector at the upcoming World Association of Nuclear Operators’ (WANO) Biennial General Meeting (BGM).
The meeting is scheduled to be held in Prague, Czech Republic under the theme “One WANO – A Global Commitment to Nuclear Excellence,” between October 9-11.
Companies and countries involved in commercial nuclear operations are a part of the WANO BGM.
WANO works with them to assess and improve performance globally through mutual support, exchange of information and emulation of best practices.
Through the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant, a major strategic energy infrastructure project, the UAE is recognized as a global nuclear energy leader.
It demonstrates that nuclear energy is an essential climate solution that is having a real impact economically and environmentally today.
ENEC has been an active WANO member since 2010, regularly participating in the organization’s workshops, events and training program.
WANO’s mission is to maximize the safety and reliability of nuclear energy plants worldwide. More than 120 members of the group are responsible for operating more than 430 civil nuclear reactors globally.
The Barakah Plant is leading the decarbonization of the UAE’s power sector by generating clean electricity and forms key component of the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 Strategy.
The nuclear sector is a vital part of the UAE’s clean energy ecosystem of low-carbon technologies, ensuring the success of the UAE grid for the next 60 years.
