Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) will host public forums at Baynounah Institute of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi's Western Region next Monday and at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center next Wednesday. The forums will be staged next week as part of ENEC's ongoing commitment to community engagement which focuses on raising awareness and understanding of the UAE's peaceful nuclear energy program as well as providing updates on the progress being made at the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant. ENEC's CEO, Mohamed Al Hammadi, as well as members of the senior leadership team, will present the latest project updates and next steps to attendees from the Western Region and Abu Dhabi. The presentations will highlight the importance of nuclear energy as a safe, clean, reliable and efficient source of electricity and its vital contribution to the long-term growth of the UAE. The Forum will be conducted in Arabic only in the Western Region. However, simultaneous translation in English will be available for the Forum in Abu Dhabi. ENEC's Chief Executive Officer, Mohamed Al Hammadi, said: "Our past forums have allowed us to openly engage and closely interact with residents who want to learn more about nuclear energy and keep up with progress being made at the UAE's first nuclear energy plant in Barakah. The plant is being built to the highest standards of safety, quality and efficiency and these forums provide us with the opportunity to highlight the benefits of safe, clean, reliable and efficient nuclear energy." — SG
