The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec) announced on Tuesday that its operating and maintenance subsidiary, Nawah Energy Company, has completed the process of loading fuel assemblies into Unit 4 of the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant, following all national regulations and the highest international standards.
