Gov’t receives Dabaa nuclear safety analysis report from Rosatom

Russian nuclear energy company Rosatom has submitted its safety analysis report on the 4.8 GW Dabaa nuclear power plant to the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA), government sources said. Rosatom will begin training programs for workers building the plant before year-end and lay the groundwork for the project by early 2019. The company expects to start constructing the reactors by mid-2020 once it receives required permits from EAEA, which plans to complete all reviews and issue permits by 2020.
