The site of the Russian-built El Dabaa nuclear power plant (NPP) has enough space to accommodate four more power units in addition to the four currently under construction, Alexey Kononenko, head of the El Dabaa NPP Project, told Sputnik on the sidelines of the International Youth Forum for Sustainable Nuclear Technologies in Alexandria, Egypt.There is hope that cooperation between Russia and Egypt in the field of nuclear power plants will continue in the future, he said.Speaking about the forum, Kononenko said that such an event gives young people the opportunity to better understand nuclear energy technologies and appreciate the prospects of this field. He added that young people from Egypt and Russia are being actively recruited to work on the El Dabaa NPP project and are being trained in new specialties.

The construction of the El Dabaa nuclear plant started in 2022, about 320 km away from Cairo. It will run on four VVER-1200 pressurized water reactors, three of which are already operational, with a total generating capacity of 4,800 megawatts.
The site of the
Russian-built El Dabaa nuclear power plant (NPP) has enough space to accommodate four more power units in addition to the four currently under construction,
