Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant project AMC would like to congratulate H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces for the inauguration of the first completed Nuclear power plant in the UAE, together with the President of South Korea. AMC is proud to have contributed in this project for Waterproofing Works.In December 2009, the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation awarded the contract for the Middle East's first nuclear power plant to a consortium of South Korean companies headed by the Korean Electric Power Company (KEPC). Unit 1 (APR-1400) is the first of four such reactors that are planned for operation by 2021, with a design life of 60 years. It is estimated that, when completed, the plants will produce a combined 5,600 megawatts of power, contributing almost 25 per cent of the nation's electricity. The nuclear energy plant is situated three hours and nearly 300 kilometres west from the centre of Abu Dhabi. Back
