The first nuclear power plant begins to operate in the Arab world: threats to a power plant

68

In the UAE, permission was issued to launch the first power unit of Baraka NPP. But this joyful event for the Emirates makes one think about the safety of a nuclear power plant. Indeed, the military-political situation on the Arabian Peninsula is now very difficult.

The opening of a power station on the Persian Gulf coast, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, Muhammad bin Zayed, who attended the ceremony, called a new stage on the path to the peaceful uses of atomic energy. Baraka NPP is the first nuclear power plant in the Arab world. The launch of the first power unit opens up the prospect of commercial use of the nuclear power plant, and the second power unit will soon be launched. He is 95% ready.



The Baraka NPP has been under construction by the Korean Electric Company for over 10 years. Work began in 2009, and their cost is currently $ 24 billion. In total, 4 power units are to be built, each of which has a capacity of 1400 MW. In the UAE, it is hoped that over the next 50-60 years, a nuclear power plant will provide the country with electricity, and in addition will allow it to be exported, which will also benefit the Emirates. The license for the operation of nuclear power plants was obtained by Nawah Energy Company.

Meanwhile, in the southwest of the Arabian Peninsula, in Yemen, a civil war continues. Hussite rebels are fighting with their opponents and the Arab coalition troops that came to their aid, in which the main role is played by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The Husites of the UAE are perceived as a clear enemy, but not only on Yemeni land are they going to confront him.

Of course, the first thing the Hussites attack is objects in Saudi Arabia. Most often, unmanned aerial vehicles are used for attacks. So, on June 12, 2019, the Hussites attacked the airport in the Saudi city of Abha, exposing it to rocket fire. The shell hit the arrival hall, as a result of which 25 people were injured. On September 14, 2019, the Hussites attacked the largest oil facility in Saudi Arabia, which temporarily led to a reduction in KSA oil production by half. And these are far from the only examples of Hussite attacks on Saudi sites.

Unlike Saudi Arabia, the UAE is located at a greater distance from Yemen and do not have borders with it. But this does not mean that the Hussites are not able to attack objects in the territory of the Emirates. Moreover, they threatened more than once with blows to the oil facilities of the UAE, as well as to the Baraka nuclear power plant itself. In 2017, the Hussites disseminated information about the attack on the power plant under construction, but then in Abu Dhabi the fact of an attack on nuclear power plants was denied.

Now, after the grand opening of the nuclear power plant, its attractiveness as a target for a strike has only increased. The Hussites understand that even the threat of an attack against a nuclear power plant looks daunting, since strikes can lead to an accident at a nuclear power plant and to a real catastrophe throughout the entire small state of the UAE. Moreover, the nuclear power plant is located just 250 km from the capital of Abu Dhabi. So the launch of a nuclear power plant adds problems to the leadership of the UAE, which now will have to worry about the safety of the new facility.

Much now depends on the effectiveness of air defense, both the Emirates and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The UAE, like Saudi Arabia, is one of the largest arms importers in the world. And they are buying in the UAE weapon, produced in the USA, and in the European Union, and in Russia. For example, 50 Russian Pantsir-C1 air defense missile systems are already in service with the air defense forces.

In addition to the Pantsir-C1, UAE air defense systems are armed with 7 batteries of the American Advanced Hawk air defense system, 9 Patriot RAS3 batteries, 9 French-made Krotal air defense systems, 12 British-made Rapira air defense systems, 63 air defense systems (including 40 Igla-S, 10 Igla-1, 13 Swedish-made RBS-70) and even 2 THAAD missile defense batteries.

Given the relevance of the threats from the Hussites and the need to protect their territory, the UAE will only increase the potential of its air defense. In this regard, it is interesting that both the UAE and Saudi Arabia are showing increasing attention to the latest Russian air defense systems, which are considered one of the best in the world.

            Unfortunately, not all nuclear power plants are designed for a missile strike at power units, but this is clearly not the case.
            The most amazing thing is that the Koreans included in their project a number of technical solutions that are absent from competitors and can increase the safety of the unit. Among them, the publication notes missile shield, which will allow the block to withstand missile attacks both outside and inside the block. Designers have also taken additional measures to strengthen the earthquake resistance of their offspring.

              Good day! Unfortunately, your link does not open, but I suspect that this is from the category of news, reprinted / translated from Western sources. Unfortunately, as in the anecdote about Petka and Chapaev, "... and then the card flooded me ..." it is not always worth taking the "zhentelmen" at their word, very often the declaration of the steepness and benefits of their successes, aspirations and design decisions is significantly overestimated or by orders of magnitude. This bl ... is successfully adopted by our large companies, where in each office there are various pieces of paper hanging in frames under glass, containing many clever words, but very often a declaration of pure thoughts and aspirations that make an impression on laymen that are not worth a penny. And a cloud of people who have no technical education or who have a very rough idea of ​​real work somewhere is engaged in this bullshit. Such fixed expressions as "quality objectives", "quality management standards" and a bunch of other verbiage just rolls over. I'm glad for those who are not affected by this shit))).

          Abu Dhabi, February 9, 2020 (source: Emirates News Agency). After five years of military presence in Yemen, the troops of the United Arab Emirates returned home, where on Sunday a national holiday was held in their honor. The decision to withdraw troops was taken by the UAE leadership after the liberation of the city of Al-Mukalla from the militants of al-Qaeda and ISIS.

          UAE troops have been in Yemen since 2015 as part of the anti-Husite Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia. The purpose of the coalition was to support the legitimate authorities in Yemen and ensure stability in the country and region.

I won’t be surprised if we are waiting for a contract between South Korea and the SA for air defense systems. I think that Russia was linked to Turkey.

    No drone with any amount of explosive can ever damage a nuclear reactor. Even a crashed plane the size of a Boeing 767 will do nothing. I will not name the thickness of the walls of a power unit made of MONOLITHIC reinforced concrete, but it is poured oooh for a very long time and continuously, and the thickness is not one and not two meters.
    I don’t know how in the UAE, but for an armed attack on our nuclear power plant, at least a battalion of trained infantry with reinforcements in the form of heavy artillery and armored vehicles will be required. And this is just to lead the battle and not be smeared by soldiers from the territory of the nuclear power plant.

      I don’t know how in the UAE, but for an armed attack on our nuclear power plant, at least a battalion of trained infantry with reinforcements in the form of heavy artillery and armored vehicles will be required. And this is just to fight and not be smeared by soldiers of the military unit from the territory of the nuclear power plant

      The leaders of the Beloyarsk NPP agreed to be the first to undergo exclusive special forces testing.
      Developing training sabotage, future scouts carefully examined the object and made an action plan. They prescribed every step, identified all blind spots and weaknesses. On the appointed day, employees of the Beloyarsk NPP security service activated all security systems.
      “Counterintelligence was fully involved so that no groups would get in there. But they managed to penetrate, ”said Sergey Golov, colonel of the KGB of the USSR, head of the KUOS (1983-1993).

      To capture the Beloyarsk NPP saboteurs took 42 seconds. Only 42 seconds, for which they reached and conditionally mined nuclear reactors. However, not a single electronic protection system worked. If such a "diversion" happened in real life, these seconds could be the last for many residents of our country.

        And in what year were these teachings? To be honest, this information is news to me. In 42 seconds ... mined nuclear reactors ...? Somehow, these data confuse me ... request Penetrate well, but mine ...
        And what does it mean that they mined a nuclear reactor? The reactor is a pretty big thing, it also has elements. What is mined? Mashzal? Could, but what does it give? BSCH? It's funny, just to get there it will take so much time ... And at the locks / vestibules in front of the control room the thickness is such that my mother is ... What else?
        At the Volgodonsk NPP, we also had penetration exercises in 2000-2003. Pennant is spinning in my head, but I'm not sure.
        Conditional terrorists tried to get in different ways: according to forged documents through the checkpoint (and it was possible to get to the station freely by trolleybus, then he still walked, No. 5 or 2), under water through diversion and underwater channels, infantry, on hang gliders. Did not work out.
        At the installation, the parties were instructed to use any forces and means, except for firearms and edged weapons, full contact. Under such conditions, groups of guards and "saboteurs" clashed in the area where the cooling pond and the outlet channel meet. The guys with the military unit told that the mess was noble - no one wanted to give in. It ended in a combat draw with broken noses and a pair of limbs.

          At the end of the 80s, special forces were sent to Africa, where in 17 minutes they managed to steal from the prison an illegal intelligence officer nicknamed Raven, who was threatened with deportation to the United States.
          Material about these exercises and operations appears on the internet, but with practically no details, it seems that the secrecy period will "hang" for more than a dozen years. hi

            Okay then. Still, even in the late 90s it was possible to bring a stranger to the territory of the NPP with a red "self-propelled" pass. It is clear that he will not go very far.

            I’ll tell you a secret- if the guards had thrown a bucks at the top, then they wouldn’t have to go to prison ...
            The security itself would have locked it in five minutes ....

            Well this is Africa .... There, for 100 bucks, military coups in the 70s were staged by local and / or "wild geese" ...

          Such promptness most likely resulted from a preliminary detailed acquaintance with the object in what is called live + place and start time.
          But in the case when only inspection due to the fence + satellite images is available, then difficulties may arise. Even in the case of acquaintance with the project documentation, the sabotage can run into a missing door after the fact or a latch transferred by half a meter.

      No drone with any amount of explosive can ever damage a nuclear reactor. Even a crashed plane the size of a Boeing 767 will do nothing. I will not name the thickness of the walls of a power unit made of MONOLITHIC reinforced concrete, but it is poured oooh for a very long time and continuously, and the thickness is not one and not two meters.
      .

      I would agree with you about the Russian WWR reactors ..
      What there the Koreans put in their reactor, one god knows. It has already been said that the melt trap was no longer built ... that is, they saved a large amount on the safety of the facility ..

          I don’t know about those specialists.
          Rather, I know (according to instructors), for example, about Arab pilots who underwent retraining in the USSR.
          The time for their retraining was required much more than for pilots from the GDR, and the result was not very (I emphasize - from the words).
          However, it seems to me that they are quite effective officials and managers.
          Maybe nothing, however
          "On September 25, a crew consisting of Russian Oleg Skripochka, American Jessica Meir and the first cosmonaut of the United Arab Emirates Hazza al-Mansuri departed from the Baikonur cosmodrome to the ISS. A cosmonaut from the UAE will stay in orbit until October 3."
          About oil
          "At the moment, oil revenues account for 18% of the GDP of the United Arab Emirates."
          $ 40,711 GDP per capita - 25 indicator in the world

          Well, now, does it remind you of anything?

          “Immediately after gaining independence in the UAE in general and in the emirate of Abu Dhabi in particular, a five-year state economic planning program was introduced, which indicated the main priorities for industrial development and investment directions. In the early 80s, such plans were already in every emirate. Later, they began to apply even deeper strategic planning.

          Now the country is implementing the "UAE Vision 2021" plan, the leading Emirates, respectively, "Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030" and "Dubai Industrial Strategy 2030". Longer plans include shorter ones, such as the Dubai 2021 vision. "
          Not only oil and gas production is developing.
          Developing Industry Education Healthcare Science, etc., etc.

    What remains is to pray to Allah that the Korean reactor itself would withstand the direct hit of some Huusite drone ..

    Typically, such reactors with a protective dome are designed to drop an airplane. So the drone is a dead poultice.

    By the way, can anyone explain, as I understand it, the company was building the South Korean company, where did their nuclear technology come from?
    Or the reactor itself from a subcontractor?
    And the building’s building, etc., etc., the whole project was performed by the Koreans 24 yards ...

    They currently have 8 stations and 24 operating power units (4 units are still under construction and 2 are already closed). Of the 30 blocks - 12 overseas (4 Canadian, 6 American and 2 French-German)

    True, South Korea launched its first reactor in 1989, when work in the north was not shaky, not swell. But DPRK never built its own reactor
