Nuclear power in the United Arab Emirates

[8] The UAE has committed large resources in the appropriate disposal of atomic uranium waste products that are generated by running its Barakah Nuclear Power Plant.

These Long-term storage facilities are concrete and steel containers in which used nuclear waste are then stored called dry casks.

[10] Before the Barakah Nuclear power station's development, plans for decommissioning are put in place to ensure its appropriate disposal with respect to the environment around it.

The process of plant decommissioning involves multiple departments and its planning includes a range of aspects that are considered at the early stages of development.

In addition, along with the 20 billion dollar contract with South Korea's KEPCO,[12] the partnership is planned to extensively cover the training programs, human resource development, and education programs that further include plans of decommission, ensuring that the UAE possesses the required skilled labor in the sophisticated decommissioning processes along with KEPCO for the Barakah Nuclear plants.

[13] The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has planned the addition of reactors in the Barakah facility in Abu Dhabi.

Soil preparation work has been partially outlined at the Barakah facility, indicating that steps are being implemented to develop the new reactors at the site.
