The Arab World’s first Nuclear plant in the United Arab Emirates Started Working

The United Arab Emirates has begun preliminary operations at the world’s first nuclear plant. One of the four units of the nuclear power plant on the Gulf Coast in eastern Qatar has been activated. With the use of South Korean technology, nuclear enrichment has begun at one of Baraka’s four reactors. Work on the plant was scheduled to begin in 2017, but was delayed several times due to safety concerns.

The UAE wants to meet a quarter of its energy needs from the plant. The Arab country is using sustainable energy sources. Two weeks ago, the United Arab Emirates sent a research mission to Mars. This scientific development has also been attributed to the United Arab Emirates among the Arab countries. The UAE is spending heavily on solar energy, a major source of energy in the Gulf. Some energy experts are questioning the name of the plant. The name of this plant in Arabic means happiness.

Last year, Qatar described the Baraka plant as a major threat to peace and the environment in the region. Qatar is a staunch opponent of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. On the other side of the Gulf is Iran, which is subject to numerous US sanctions over its nuclear program, and Iran is also a rival to the United Arab Emirates.

UAE leaders on Saturday called work on the plant a breakthrough, saying it was an important sign of the country’s scientific progress. Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahan, the leader of the United Arab Emirates, tweeted congratulations to the nation. According to him, with this success, it will now be possible to achieve sustainable energy.
