Emirates
Nuclear Energy Corp. (ENEC) has received formal approval to perform
additional civil works at the proposed site for the UAE’s first nuclear
power plants in Barakah, the company said March 8.
The
Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) has given consent for ENEC to
undertake additional site preparatory work including creating a smooth,
flat surface at the bottom of the excavation using a thin layer of
concrete in preparation for the installation of the initial nuclear
safety concrete, ENEC said.
ENEC
may also install waterproofing material over the leveled concrete,
install encasement piping, and a protective layer of concrete to support
installation of reinforcing steel later.
ENEC
is not authorized to pour initial safety concrete until it is granted a
construction license from Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation
(FANR).
