Rosatom considers establishing factories in Egypt to produce Dabaa components

Rosatom is considering establishing factories with Egyptian companies to manufacture components for the Dabaa nuclear plant, company sources have said, according to Al Mal. Rosatom subsidiary Atomstroyexport (ASE) has reportedly visited a number of factories and businesses in Egypt to assess whether local firms have the capacity to produce the required components. ASE’s Egypt director Anatoly Kovtunov said last week that the company will begin construction on the plant by the middle of next year.
