| Additional information |
Egypt's El Dabaa nuclear facility, located on the Mediterranean coast west of Alexandria, has been under development in various forms since the 1980s — repeatedly stalled by funding shortfalls, regional politics, and the post-Chernobyl chill on nuclear expansion. The project finally gained serious traction after Egypt signed a contract with Russia's Rosatom in 2015, with Russia financing the majority of the estimated $30 billion construction cost. This commemorative marks a construction milestone in what will be Egypt's first operational nuclear power plant.
