Authorities reported no injuries, and radiation levels remain within safe limits.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"343\" data-start=\"269\">The UAE Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR) said all of the plant\u2019s critical systems continue to operate normally.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"520\" data-start=\"345\">Officials said personnel from Korean companies working in the UAE, including Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) and Korea Hydro &amp; Nuclear Power, were not hurt. A KEPCO spokesperson said, \u201cThere are no casualties, and we understand the nuclear facilities did not sustain direct damage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"640\" data-start=\"522\">The spokesperson added the strike appeared aimed at an external power facility outside the plant itself. As a precautionary measure, operators temporarily shut down one reactor. Some local staff were moved to remote work arrangements.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"678\" data-start=\"642\">UAE authorities have not attributed the drone attack to any group or actor.<\/p>\n<p data-end=\"823\" data-is-last-node=\"data-is-only-node=\" data-start=\"680\">The Barakah plant, built using KEPCO\u2019s exported APR1400 reactor design, is the Middle East\u2019s first commercial nuclear power station. Since KEPCO secured the contract in 2009, four units (totaling 5,600 MW) began full commercial operation in April 2024, and they now supply roughly 25% of the UAE\u2019s electricity demand.<\/p>\n<p><span><strong><span>\u2605 Vote for the Netizen Awards \u25b6<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/> <span><strong><span>\u2605 Breaking news in real time &#8211; CBC News on Telegram
