KHNP completed the fourth and final unit of the Barakah nuclear power plant in the UAE — the Arab world's first nuclear plant and one of the most significant nuclear construction achievements of the 21st century. KHNP has approximately 20 staff remaining in the UAE for settlement work and final tasks. Iran named the South Korea-built UAE Barakah plant among potential conflict targets in March 2026 amid the US-Iran war — highlighting the strategic importance of nuclear infrastructure security.
