Sameera Moussa’s nuclear dream for peace“The establishment of the Al-Dabaa nuclear power plant is an embodiment of the long-term dream of the Egyptian people about peaceful nuclear energy” said Amjad al-Wakeel, the head of Egypt’s Nuclear Power Plants Authority (NPPA) as he accompanied the Russian delegation to the plant’s construction site. The idea for nuclear energy in Egypt is not new. She was born in 1917 and grew up in the Gharbia governorate (500 km east from where the Dabaa nuclear plant is being built). In the case of Moussa, nuclear power was another opportunity to make the world a better place, and not to turn it into a darker one. Egypt is pursuing – on multiple fronts – ways to further reduce emissions and move to renewable and nuclear energy.
