It was attended by UAE energy minister Suhail Mohamed Faraj Al Mazrouei, government officials and Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec) board of directors. The delegation was given a tour of the site to inspect progress at each of the units under construction there.<\/p>\n<p>Enec received regulatory approval for the construction of Barakah units 3\u00a0and 4\u00a0last September. The company said preparatory work at unit 4\u00a0has been carried out over the past seven months which included excavation work, lining the foundation pit and installing reinforcing steel bars.<\/p>\n<p>Construction of the reactor containment building for unit 4\u00a0will be completed over the next three years, Enec said. It added that unit 4\u00a0is on track to enter commercial operation by 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Enec noted, \u201cWith the construction of four identical nuclear energy reactors now under way, Barakah surpasses nuclear construction sites in China, the USA, the UK, Russia and other countries to become the largest project with simultaneous construction of identical nuclear technology in the world\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Enec CEO Mohamed Al Hammadi said, \u201cWe now have more than 18,000\u00a0staff at Barakah working diligently to safely deliver on our mission to connect safe, clean, reliable and efficient nuclear energy to the UAE in 2017\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In a $20\u00a0billion deal announced in December 2009, Enec selected a consortium led by Korea Electric Power Corporation to build four APR-1400\u00a0reactors. First concrete for Barakah 1\u00a0was poured in July 2012, while that for unit 2\u00a0was poured in May 2013\u00a0with unit 3\u00a0following in September 2014. Enec said that unit 1\u00a0is now 75% complete, while overall construction of the four-unit plant is more than 50% complete. All four units are scheduled to enter service by 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Energy minister Al Mazrouei said, \u201cNuclear energy will play a critical role in the provision of sustainable energy to power the future of the UAE and, while the pace and sophistication of this historic program continues to grow, I am consistently impressed to see Enec deliver its project to the highest international standards of safety, quality and performance. The approach ensures the long-term sustainability of the UAE peaceful nuclear energy program\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to Enec, once all four units at Barakah are in operation, the plant will supply about a quarter of the UAE\u2019s electricity needs and avoid the emission of up to 12\u00a0million tonnes of greenhouse gas. The plant will also free up oil and gas supplies for export.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first safety concrete has been poured for the basemat of the containment building of the fourth reactor at the United Arab Emirates\u2019 Barakah nuclear power plant, marking the official start of the unit\u2019s construction.
