On Monday, the first ever nuclear power plant of UAE and the entire gulf region was opened by Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The Barakah plant cost $20 billion and took nine years to build but it was possible because of South Korea’s help through Korea Electric Power Corp. It is one of four reactors that are being built and it is estimated that it will produce electricity of about 5,600 megawatts.

The Crown Prince was joined by the South Korean President Moon Jae-in, the deputy supreme commander of the UAE armed forces and other dignitaries at the reception ceremony. The Prince then tweeted, thanking the South Korean President for their help in the project.
