Egyptian scientists got acquainted with the training of nuclear specialists on example of Beloyarsk NPP

The delegation of Tanta University (Egypt) headed by the President of the University Magdi Abdul Raouf Sabaa visited the site of Beloyarsk NPP during the visit to Sverdlovsk Oblast.

Egyptian University is planning to create a centre of engineering training of the specialists for nuclear industry. The preparation of the specialists for nuclear power industry is of particular significance due to the construction of the first NPP in Egypt – El Dabaa NPP.

According to the signed intergovernmental agreement between Egypt and Russia, Rosatom State Corporation will construct four VVER power units of 1,200 MW each in Egypt. In order to study the training experience of the nuclear specialists the leading professors of Tanta visited the NPP and Renewable Sources of Energy Department of Ural Federal University. The visit resulted in the signed memorandum of understanding between the universities.

“We were invited to Beloyarsk NPP by the head of the Department Sergey Schekleyn. We were interested in learning the advanced technologies of the nuclear industry at your Plant. Here we were shown the simulator of the main control room of BN-600 power unit, told about the progressive trends of nuclear power development. We saw that Russia has experienced and well-qualified specialists”, the President of Tanta University Magdi Abdul Raouf Sabaa told.

Tanta University is one of the largest universities of Egypt, it is situated 200 km from the construction site of the NPP. Unlike the capital universities specialized at fundamental principles of the nuclear technologies, Tanta carries out more applied (engineering) educational process, has the possibility and the territory to develop laboratory basis for preparation of the specialists; as well as has some experience of preparation of power engineers, as well as the linguistic centre.

The Beloyarsk NPP has come into operation in April 1964. The first power blocks of the Beloyarsk NPP with thermal reactors AMB-100 and AMB-200 has been closed after the accumulated running time. The power block with a fast industrial capacity reactor BN-600 is still on. The power block with a fact reactor BN-800Н is currently being prepared for coming into operation.
