KEPCO CEO Cho Hwan-eik said, “We are committed to building the world’s strongest "safety first" culture at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant. Various safety education programs and thorough supervision and monitoring procedures have been put in place to maintain the highest safety and healthcare standards under unfavorable environmental circumstances in the UAE.”
