About

Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation operates the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant — the Arab world's first nuclear plant and one of the most significant nuclear construction achievements in recent decades. Four APR-1400 units built by KHNP completed on time and budget. South Korea and UAE agreed to jointly pursue nuclear exports to third countries following Barakah's successful completion. Iran named Barakah among potential conflict targets in March 2026 — underscoring the geopolitical dimension of nuclear infrastructure.
