Emirates Nuclear Energy Company (ENENC) and Hyundai Engineering and Construction (Hyundai E&C) signed a strategic memorandum (DMO) in Seoul in the Republic of Korea, which is an important step in international nuclear cooperation. The purpose of this new agreement is to find out global nuclear power opportunities through the joint initiative, which is a shared vision to carry forward peaceful nuclear power development with both UAE and Korea. Cooperation creates a long and successful partnership between the two countries in the nuclear region. It supports mutual efforts towards safe and efficient expansion of nuclear power in accordance with estimates by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), on a sufficient global scale of atomic capacity by 2030 and 2050.
An outline for global expansion and technological advancement
Under the terms of MoU, ENEC and Hyundai E&C committed:
- Share knowledge
Nuclear technologies And project execution. - Cooperative evaluation of participation in international nuclear power projects.
- Assessment of strategic investment opportunities in nuclear undertakings worldwide.
- The formation of a joint work group to identify areas of mutual interest supports the development of future nuclear power initiatives.
The agreement is part of Enec’s broad strategic direction as it enters a new phase of global engagement. Now is now being completely turned on with a nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates, Enec is actively looking at large -scale nuclear reactors and new nuclear technologies to invest and cooperate at the domestic and international levels. Enec “emphasized its commitment to work with all responsible countries to deploy the new atom or expand its existing fleet,” saying that “Mousse is a clear performance of this approach with companies such as” Hyundai E&C “.
Barachah Plant: A Model for Global Nuclear Development
The MoU is also a continuity of strong working relations between ENEC and Hyundai E&C, a major achievement in the UAE’s peaceful nuclear power program, is the leading contractor in building the Barachah nuclear power plant. Hyundai E&C, established in 1947, is one of the major construction firms of South Korea with expertise in civil, plant and nuclear power projects. The company is now recognized globally for its expertise in the nuclear infrastructure, and the Baraka project stands as a benchmark for safe, efficient nuclear development. The Barakah project included the construction of 4 April -1400 nuclear power plants, each of which had a capacity of 1,400mw, which was located in the west of Abu Dhabi. After intensive competition from Consortia in France, the United States and Japan, the USD 20 billion contract led by Hyundai E&C, Korea Electric Power Corporation (KPCO), and Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power was awarded in December 2009 in December 2009. Construction of the first unit began on the afternoon of 18 July 2012, and the plant started in 2020. An area 8 km long and 1.8 kilometers wide, about four times the size of the Yodo in Seoul, the site shows impressive engineering. Each reactor building is crowned with a dome of 80 meters of Islamic architecture, which reaches the height of a 30-storey building. Hyundai E&C’s successful delivery of the project, on time and budget, praised the global nuclear industry for its project execution, risk management and construction expertise.
