40 years on, El Dabaa progresses

摘要

There has been talk of building a nuclear power plant at Egypt's El Dabaa site in the Matrouh governorate on the Mediterranean coast for about four decades, but following the signing of a what was described as a "notice to proceed" by Rosatom and the Egyptian Ministry of Electricity in December 2017, some significant progress has been made, with operation of the first unit pencilled in for 2026. The agreement between Russia and Egypt has been described as "the biggest non-feedstock deal in Russian history."
