Egypt begins the largest project to settle the local industry and production requirements Hear the president's response to the increase in the price of the dollar
Excellent news all around. Besides the terrific announceent that Russia has begun supplying nuclear fuel, that only means that they are somewhat ahead of schedule since the last time I remember them talking about the fuel coming sometime in the middle of 2023. This project is really moving at a phenomenal pace and I like his simple explanaition about why they chose Dabaa for a location. They spent A LOT of time and research for a location that they knew had to be right on or substantially close to a large body of water and at the same time, be at a safely calculated distance from the nearest & largest habitable city(ies) which of course makes a ton of sense.
They certainly planned this for a while prior to final decisions and the reason to go with Russia despite all the other offers from Italy I believe, Spain and France was of course the extensive experience, their offer was something of a new and radical safety design and featured a tremendous amount of some of the latest nuclear technologies which made the Egyptian authorities a lot more enticed about the project than the others. I'm really impressed that they're beginning to fuel the reactors at such a record pace. Good stuff, SC!
