A new nuclear step opened by Egypt with Russia.. Rosatom reveals talks with Cairo to localize floating nuclear power plants and small-scale nuclear reactors, in parallel with the continued implementation of the Dabaa plant.Rosatom's CEO Alexey Likhachev confirmed that work is underway to explore issues of localizing floating nuclear plants and small-scale plants, following a meeting with Egyptian Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy Mahmoud Esmat in Russia.The talks are not limited to the Dabaa plant, as the two sides discussed the latest technologies for small and medium nuclear reactors and the potential for their use in the future for electricity production and meeting the needs of industrial areas and regions with limited loads.Cairo, through this cooperation, seeks to localize nuclear technology and transfer expertise, alongside preparing Egyptian cadres capable of operating and managing nuclear facilities in accordance with international safety and security standards.Rosatom affirmed its continued support for the Dabaa project, while the Minister of Electricity emphasized the importance of studying small reactor technologies according to economic and technical feasibility and safety requirements.The exploration of floating nuclear energy and small reactors represents a potential expansion in Egypt's nuclear program, after cooperation with Russia had primarily focused on the Dabaa project.Notably, small reactors are characterized by greater flexibility in use, which opens the door to future applications that go beyond traditional power plants to include industrial sectors and areas that need stable energy sources.Is Egypt preparing for a new phase of nuclear energy that goes beyond Dabaa? And will small and floating reactors become part of Cairo's future strategy to secure its energy needs?A new nuclear step opened by Egypt with Russia..
