The Emirates Nuclear Energy Company (ENEC), in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy, has hosted two specialised workshops for representatives from Ghana and Poland’s nuclear energy organisations.
Held at both the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant and in Abu Dhabi, the sessions offered practical insights drawn from the development and operation of the Barakah facility. The workshops focused on risk informed cybersecurity for new nuclear builds, along with the fundamentals of nuclear quality, regulatory frameworks and safety culture essential for emerging nuclear programmes.
Participants engaged in two core learning streams: “Nuclear Quality for Emerging Countries” and “Cybersecurity for Nuclear Power Generation: Lessons Learned from New Program Implementation”. Together, these sessions provided hands on guidance on establishing robust governance, meeting international standards and preparing safe, secure and efficient nuclear infrastructure.
The initiative builds on ENEC’s longstanding collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy, which was strengthened in 2020 through a Memorandum of Understanding on energy cybersecurity. It also forms a key part of ENEC’s broader strategy to advance global knowledge sharing, support countries launching new nuclear programmes and promote opportunities for international partnership and investment.
By enabling new build nuclear nations to access proven expertise and advanced technologies, ENEC aims to help partners strengthen energy security, enhance sustainability and accelerate the responsible adoption of peaceful nuclear power.
