UAE - S.KOREA COOPERATION

UAE - S.KOREA COOPERATION

WNN - The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec) and its joint venture subsidiaries, Nawah Energy Company (Nawah) and Barakah One Company (BOC), have signed three agreements with Korean companies. Enec and Korea Electric Power Corporation (Kepco) in October 2016 signed a joint venture agreement that made Kepco a minority shareholder in Nawah and BOC.

Kepco is building four APR-1400s at Barakah, in the Dhafrah region of Abu Dhabi. All four units are scheduled for completion by 2020.

On 26 March, Enec and Kepco Nuclear Fuel signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate in the field of nuclear fuel and in overseas business development; Nawah and Kepco Engineering and Construction signed an engineering support contract for the Barakah nuclear power plant to 2030; and Kepco agreed a charter for joint business cooperation with BOC to enhance cooperation throughout the nuclear business cycle, from planning and construction to operation.

"The two joint venture partners and their subsidiary companies continue to establish new ways for cooperation, forming a unique international partnership for the nuclear energy industry," Enec said on 4 April.

Kepco said in a separate statement that it will be able to enhance the competitiveness of its APR-1400 reactor design "by leveraging the UAE's abundant financial resources in the overseas nuclear power plant market".

President Moon Jae-in of South Korea and Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on 26 March attended a ceremony to celebrate the completion of construction at the United Arab Emirates' first nuclear power reactor.

The first phase of pre-operational tests have been completed at Barakah 1. The next phases of pre-operational tests require fuel to be loaded in the reactor and can only begin after Nawah receives an operating licence.

Unit 2 is now more than 92% complete, with unit 3 more than 81% complete and unit 4 more than 67% complete.

NUCLEAR ENERGY WILL UP

WNN - Nuclear energy has faced serious challenges in recent years because of several factors: competition from low gas prices, subsidised renewables and slow growth in electricity demand in certain markets. But because of several powerful forces we are seeing signs that this year nuclear energy will come roaring back.

NUCLEAR - 2050: 25%

WNN - According to the Foratom statement, World Nuclear Association Director General Agneta Rising said: "By 2050, nuclear energy must account for 25% of energy generation if we are to meet our climate targets. With nuclear making up 11% of generation in 2014, an extra 1000 GWe in nuclear capacity will need to be built by 2050. However, meeting this goal will not be easy."
