The Emirates Nuclear & Radiation Academy (ENRA) was established in 2023 to empower and enhance national professionals and leaders within the nuclear and radiation sectors.

ENRA aims to to provide a comprehensive range of capacity-building initiatives. These include well-crafted training modules coupled with progressive development programmes, designed to build expertise and leadership capabilities.

The Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi is designed around a defence-in-depth strategy, which is the cornerstone of any design basis to ensure the safety of a nuclear power plant and to prevent accidents. This strategy provides at least three successive barriers between the radioactive material and harmful effects of radiation on people. The barriers are supported by independent safety systems designed to protect their integrity and provide a reliable containment of all radioactive material within the nuclear power plant. Compliance with FANR regulations ensures that the health and safety of the public is adequately protected when the nuclear power plant is in operation. The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC), the operator, is responsible for preventing accidents as its top safety priority.

The Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi will work no differently to a nuclear power plant that is used to generate electricity. In order to generate electricity, heat is converted into steam, which in turn drives a turbine and generator to produce electricity. For example, conventional fossil fuel power plants burn coal, oil or gas for heat to make steam, but the heat from nuclear power plants is generated when the atoms of a material like uranium is split into smaller atoms, and in the process (called nuclear reaction) they produce heat to make steam. As with fossil fuel power plants, the steam drives a turbine and generator to produce electricity.

People who live or work near a nuclear power plant should be able to go about their daily lives without special concern for any nuclear facility, activity or material in their vicinity.

Communities in the region of the nuclear power plant will be able to benefit from employment opportunities that will arise from the plant, and the local economy will also prosper.

The permissible dose limits can be found in Articles 10 and 11 of FANR Regulation 24 on the Basic Safety Standards for Facilities and Activities involving Ionizing Radiation other than in Nuclear Facilities.

Regulations and regulatory guides can be easily accessed by clicking on the Rules & Regulations tab on the homepage of the FANR website.
