The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) has announced that its operating and maintenance subsidiary, Nawah Energy Company, has successfully launched the reactor of unit 4 of the Barakah NPP in the Al Dhafra Region of Abu Dhabi. This marks its initial production of heat through nuclear fission, used for generating electricity by turning a turbine with steam. In the coming weeks, unit 4 will be linked to the national electricity grid and will gradually increase its power output to full capacity.
