The first nuclear power plant in the Arab world was put into operation in the United Arab Emirates. The nuclear power plant named Bereket triggered a new discussion among the countries competing in the region.
The first nuclear power plant in the Arab world was put into operation in the United Arab Emirates. The power plant named Bereket, located in the east of Qatar, was built in South Korea technology.
The opening of the power plant, which is planned to be operational in 2017, has been delayed several times due to security issues.
Nuclear fusion began on Saturday in one of the four reactors of the plant.
It is estimated that the fertility power plant, the oil-rich country, will meet one quarter of its energy needs.
The United Arab Emirates has been investing in sustainable energy moves for a while.
UAE implements high-cost investments in solar energy. However, some experts make evaluations criticizing the country’s potential for solar energy to invest in nuclear energy.
“The geopolitical atmosphere in the Gulf makes nuclear activity more controversial in this region than anywhere else,” states that have become new nuclear power can access nuclear weapons production, “says Doctor Paul Dorfman of the International Nuclear Advisory Group.
Neighboring country, Qatar, also evaluated the Bereket power plant with the statement of “a threat to regional peace and the environment”. The two countries are acting in complete opposition in the context of regional policies.
Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, celebrated the opening with his Twitter post and noted that it was important in the “sustainable development” point.
Two weeks ago, the country broke new ground among the Gulf countries and sent unmanned spacecraft to Mars as part of its space program.
