Safety Evaluation Report of Barakah Units 1 and

2
SER Summary-CLA Barakah Units 1&2
This report’s scope also includes documenting the review of ENEC’s Safety Assessment
Report for Braka Nuclear Power Plants (Lessons Learned from Fukushima Accident). This
assessment report is ENEC’s response to a request from FANR, following the events at
Fukushima, for providing within the framework of the CLA, a detailed report describing
ENEC’s assessment of how the recent experience at Fukushima and the lessons learned so
far have been applied to address the robustness of the proposed Barakah facility and any
potential modifications to improve safety.
The Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi (EAD) is responsible for conducting the review and
assessment of the Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and for issuing the permits
required by separate statute. Therefore, the review and assessment of the EIAs and
associated permitting actions are not in the scope of this report.
Since outset of this project, ENEC has used the name “Braka” as the official English
translation of the Arabic name of both the site and the facility. However, on 28 June2012,
ENEC informed FANR that the spelling of the official name in English of the site and the
facility was being changed to “Barakah”, without affecting the Arabic name. ENEC stated
that the term “Braka” in previous documents prepared by ENEC and its contractors should
be read as referring to “Barakah”.
