– Environment and Sustainability
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a critical need for new, clean sources of electricity triggered by a growing population and economy. After evaluating a wide array of energy options, nuclear energy emerged as the right choice to deliver the needed baseload electricity with nearly zero carbon emissions.
During operation, nuclear energy facilities produce no carbon emissions. More than one-third of man-made greenhouse gases are caused by burning fossil fuels to generate electricity. Because nuclear energy facilities do not burn fossil fuels, they do not emit these gases. When fully operational, the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant is expected to save the UAE up to 21 million tons of carbon emissions every year.
– Policy
The Nawah Nuclear Safety Policy serves as the overarching policy for and encompasses within it focused elements of Reactor, Radiological, Industrial, Environmental and Security. The Nawah Nuclear Safety Policy is aligned with the Nawah Integrated Management System (NIMS) Policy.

These peer reviews help members compare themselves against standards of excellence through an in-depth, objective review of their operations by an independent team from outside their organization. The result is a direct and straightforward report that highlights strengths and areas for improvement in nuclear safety and plant reliability. Members learn and share worldwide insights on safe and reliable plant operation and thereby improve their own performance. The same principles extend to companies, as well as stations, in the form of the corporate peer review.
