Egypt, Russia discuss next steps for nuclear power plant
Despite the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and sanctions imposed on Moscow, a Russian delegation visited Egypt to inspect the construction work at the Dabaa nuclear plant.
CAIRO — In spite of the ongoing war in Ukraine and US and Western sanctions on Moscow, Russia sent a delegation to visit the Dabaa nuclear power plant in Egypt April 17.
The delegation included representatives from the Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrates Plant (NCCP) and TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom, led by Alexander Lokshin, first deputy director general for nuclear energetics at Rosatom.
The Russian delegation along with Egyptian officials visited the construction site of the Dabaa power plant project to inspect the bases of the pits of power generation units 1 and 2, the facilities of the construction base and the concrete-mix unit.
In 2015, Egypt and Russia signed a contract to build Egypt’s first nuclear power plant in the city of Dabaa in the Marsa Matrouh governorate in the west of the country, with a capacity of 4,800 megawatts through four reactors.
