CAIRO — Hesham Hegazy, head of the nuclear fuel sector at Egypt's Nuclear Power Plants Authority (NPPA), has recently revealed that the Egyptian nuclear program is not limited to the establishment of the Dabaa nuclear power plant, as the country seeks to build more nuclear power plants on the north coast.
Speaking at a panel discussion on the role of nuclear energy in achieving sustainable development, organized by the Russian Rosatom nuclear corporation July 12, Hegazy said that the Egyptian state is seeking the generation and production of electricity through new and renewable energies, namely nuclear energy, amid its contribution to the creation of an integrated mix with fossil fuels to generate electric power.
