A special short-term online course “Technological Aspects of AES-2006 (VVER-1200). Development of Nuclear Curricula on VVER Technology” was held for Egyptian organizations on 14-25 December 2020.
The programme was a part of a series of "Train-The-Trainers" courses developed by Rosatom Technical Academy in cooperation with the leading "nuclear" universities of Russia and under ROSATOM’s support to facilitate the transfer of nuclear education – the process of localizing competencies in building human capacity for nuclear projects in newcomer countries.
More than 40 participants attended the event representing Egyptian universities developing nuclear programmes, Nuclear Power Plants Authority (NPPA), Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority, and other national organizations involved in the capacity building for the country’s nuclear energy programme. The interest from the Egyptian side was assured by the fact that the number of applications to attend the course was four times higher than the number of trainees originally planned by the organizers.
Grigory Sosnin, Vice-president of JSC EC "ASE" – director of the El-Dabaa NPP construction project, addressed the course attendees with a welcoming speech on behalf of himself and of Dr. Amged El-Wakeel, the Chairman of the Board of NPPA. “This course is an important milestone in the development of our cooperation with Egypt – the transfer of knowledge, technology, and experience is starting. The students of our course – outstanding scientists, teachers, representatives of the best universities in Egypt – will later help in training the personnel of the nuclear power plant that we are constructing. This double energy of knowledge sharing will lead us to success" – Grigory Sosnin emphasized the importance of the event.
For reference:
Rosatom State Corporation Engineering Division incorporates the leading companies of the nuclear power industry: ASE EC JSC (Nizhny Novgorod), Atomstroyexport JSC (Nizhny Novgorod), Atomenergoproekt JSC (Moscow), ATOMPROEKT JSC (Saint-Petersburg) and others.
The Engineering Division ranks first in the world by the level of order portfolio and the number of NPPs simultaneously under construction abroad.
About 80% of the Division revenues is accounted for by overseas projects.
The Engineering Division implements projects for high power NPPs construction both in Russia and abroad, it renders a full range of EPC, EPC(M) services, including project management and designing, and develops Multi-D technologies for management of complex engineering facilities. The Engineering Division is guided by the achievements of the Russian nuclear power industry and innovative state-of-the-art technologies.
We are constructing reliable and safe NPPs with III+Generation VVER reactors that comply with all international requirements and recommendations.
