Egypt's El Dabaa nuclear power plant (NPP) is located in the Matrouh region on the Mediterranean coast, 350 kilometers from Cairo. The NPP, with a total installed electric capacity of 4.8 GW, will consist of four units with Russian VVER-1200 "3+" generation reactors, which meet the highest international requirements for efficiency and safety.
Hungary and Egypt have signed an agreement on cooperation in the nuclear sector, as both countries are building NPPs with
Russian technology, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Peter Szijjártó, said on Tuesday.
"Egypt is building a nuclear power plant with the same technology as Hungary, but Cairo is ahead in its construction. This means that we can use the practical, real experience gained here to speed up the construction of the Paks II NPP, which can be of great help in the future," Szijjártó said in a statement on social media.
He added that the agreement signed by the Hungarian and Egyptian foreign ministers on Tuesday includes a clause on internationally recognized Hungarian technologies that can be used in the construction of the El Dabaa NPP.
Hungary's Paks-II NPP with two VVER-1200 generation 3+ units will be built on a turnkey basis. The guaranteed lifetime of the new Hungarian units is 60 years. The Paks-II NPP is the first Russian project on the territory of the European Union.
The main license for the construction of the Paks-II NPP was issued by the Hungarian regulator in August 2022. The license confirms that modern Russian VVER-1200 generation III+ power units meet the most stringent international and European safety requirements.
