Vladislav Vasiliev, Director of Commissioning at the Russian company Rosatom, which is responsible for the construction of the nuclear power plant in El-Dabaa, stated that Rosatom aims to pave the way for Egyptian companies to push the domestic nuclear industry in the future. The announcement was made at the Nuclear Suppliers’ Forum, organized by Russia’s Rosatom in cooperation with the Egyptian Nuclear Power Plants Authority (NPPA).
