The Director General of the Russian company Rosatom, Alexey Likhachev, said that sanctions are an obstacle to the construction of the first nuclear power plant in Egypt, “but they will not stop us.” The Dabaa nuclear power plant will have four identical sections, called power units. Each of these units can produce 1,200 megawatts of electricity. The plant will use Russian-made VVER-1200 generation III+ pressurized water reactors.
