Putin to Participate in Key Event at Egypt’s Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant

Russian President Vladimir Putin will be visiting Egypt to participate in a significant event at the Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant. 

Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, announced that preparations are underway for Putin’s involvement in the pouring of concrete for the plant’s fourth reactor. 

The Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant, constructed by Russia in Egypt, emphasizes the highest nuclear safety standards, with its safety system including a core catcher, and a unique protection system installed at the bottom of the reactor vessel.

Egypt and Russia signed a cooperation agreement in 2015 to establish a nuclear power plant with an investment cost of USD 25 billion (EGP 770 billion).
