The UAE has embraced nuclear power.
It says it’s for peaceful purposes. But why diversify with risky nuclear energy when there are safer and cheaper alternatives?
And could it lead to nuclear proliferation in the region?
Start Here assesses the risks.
When the time comes us Turks will surround UAE from Qatar, Bahrain, Yemen, Oman and Pakistan. UAE is NOT. A Muslim nation, merely a proxy government controlled by the British. Just like the Greece who is a proxy country of US. Countries who have no opinion of their own, just controlled.
Erdoğan will not allow this bullshit any longer. Turkey already is developing nuclear energy with Russia, and developing nuclear weapons through info gathered from Pakistan
The answer is easy and has been proven to be safe, reliable and not weaponizable… CANDU reactors.
West needs to stop this nuclear programme of arab nations ,if it fall the hands of isis or any other terrorists organistion, it won, t be good,
Nuclear power uses uranium and once uranium is burnt out from nuclear fission, it produces plutonium! Plutonium is the material used in nuclear warheads! Nuclear warheads are used to vaporize cities into dust or kill the enemy! What else do you need to know? 🇨🇦☹️
Nuclear power not nuclear weapons.
Nuclear plants don’t mean you are building nuclear weapons
Why the west and not the east can have nuclear power because the western world wants others to depend on them for everything so these countries never become industrialized nation because you need energy to runs industries
Cant she just sit in 1 place ?
Why move around so much. Just stay 1 place
Cant she just sit in one place
Al-Jazeera and their Iranian masters agitated for no reason.
That is a horrible idea.
I am totally in love with Sandra Gathmann, Te amo con locura y estoy enamorado
fear mongerin. UAE depends too much on oil energy. it needs nuclear or alternate source of energy. Solar isnt efficient enough to cover the dmand. even with worlds biggest solar power plant it doesnt help much.
You should mention that name the name is Persian Gulf not other gulfs what is wrong with you
Nuclear energy is the right of all countries, including Iran, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, but you do not see any country like Iran that has so much transparency in its nuclear program that I think it is a big mistake.
Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are absolutely eenimy of Muslim brotherhood.
Persian gulf
Focus on the criminal Israel n it’s nuclear secret weapons!!!
It will be detonated when China has used you for what your worth.
Just like covid19 isnt a bio weapon.
Radical juices terrorist organisation Israel had nuclear ☢️ power plants. And they have boomed 👹👹👹👾💀👹👹👹👹
Why you are crying over this?
You should also have talk about europian countries.
What is the problem if a country wants to establish their nuclear powered reactor
Unless you go nuclear you are backward.doesnt matter even if you eat grass.All must go soon.
Al Jazeera (Qatari owned) obviously hates on the UAE and neighbours. Media is always bias in some way. Stay alert guys ❗️
I thought the video said this is the first nuclear reactor in the region, how was a reactor attacked 13 times in the past if there were no reactors?
Okay So a few things in response to this video.
Nuclear energy right now is the only source of dispatchable, scalable, low emissions, and cost effective energy source that is not heavily dependent on climate or geographical conditions.
Economics – While it is true that nuclear plants are usually have a high capital cost and take years to build, their fuel and O&M are cheap, they run with very high capacity factors in excess of 90%, and they last a very long time (60+ Years). This makes them very good long term investments delivering electricity at a low to reasonable price. Barakah will be built for approximately $24.4 Billion and is rated for 5380 MWe Net. That means the CAPEX will stand at $4.5/Watt. That is pretty excellent for a country’s first nuclear build, especially at this size.
Safety – When compared to other sources on a deaths per unit of energy basis, nuclear is the safest source of energy on the planet. Also the idea that nuclear plants are as vulnerable as oil refiners is an absolute falsehood. The containment domes for a PWR are over 1 meter thick worth of nuclear grade concrete. They are designed to take strikes from things like planes and missiles. That’s the reason for the multi-billion dollar price tag. Also, when you look at the three biggest accidents (TMI, Chernobyl, and Fukushima) Chernobyl is the only one that actually took lives or got people sick. This is based on to the official United nations studies only Chernobyl stating that there are around 60 killed and roughly 4000 dead later on from cancer. Not something we should ignore or forget, but keep in context.
The UAE – The APR-1400 is a fantastic design and the UAE made a great choice by selecting it. When the entire project is finished and all four reactors are running, the site will produce 25% of the the nations electricity. Which means if the UAE repeated the project two more times and built eight more of these its possible they could get up to 75% of their nation’s annual needs essentially decarbonizing electricity. By building these reactors they will be able save and export their fossil resources if they choose. Although I hope from a climate stand point they eventually choose not to.
Other Points – Nuclear’s overall percentage of global energy output didn’t decline because we closed a lot of reactors, it dropped because the developing world has been increasing energy use rapidly in the form of fossil fuels. If you want an industrialized economy and human flourishing you need large scale energy use and right now fossil fuels provide that because they are cheap, abundant and reliable. If push comes to shove nations will pick reliable, cheap, dirty energy over unreliable, expensive, clean energy every single time. I support renewables, I think that the UAE should absolutely deploy renewables because they have the resources available (particularly solar), but there are inherent drawbacks to renewables have prevented and will most likely always prevent them from becoming mainstream: they are dilute (take up a lot of land area and resources per TWh), they are variable (they require backup from other sources [usually natural gas] which ups the final cost people pay), and they are very location intensive (they normally have specific geographical requirements) which makes specific sources not feasible or practical in certain places.
I am going to be honest and say I was hoping for a little bit better from Al Jazeera on this video. It referenced really biased nuclear watchdog advocates who are arguably not experts, it ignored the significant benefits of this project or just how important an achievement it is for the UAE/The Middle East as a whole, and it was just overall very one sided when it shouldn’t have been.
Absolutely spot on from top to bottom.
Oil-rich, Qatari-run media sure feels threatened by a neighbor’s oil and energy independence.
Uae is also oil rich ,energy independent
@Grand VizierUAE have barely any oil
Whatever happens ….it’s gonna be sinister for the laymen at the end…. reality is after all the only real thing
Cursory sweep of those West of Qatar with nuclear ambition.
No mention of those to the East with multiple power plants and weapons being expanded every day.
Renewable energy is NOT the future. Solar works just 5 hours a day and they say it is one fifth the cost of Nuclear which works 24×7. Makes sense much??
In 2021 uae and saudi arabia will be destroyed by houthi, turkey, iran, russia,qatar, and Israel
The whole tension in Middle East is because of US, Brits Israel and France! If these countries leave middle east and especially Persian Gulf alone, there will always be tension and war. Basically, US or Brits will do anything in their power to cause tension between Saudis and Iran to sell them their armament and further their regional plans! Of course all of the middle east can go nuclear power, and it up to them to decide, not up to the US and the Brits!
always rush b on nuke
the uae can buy nuclear bomb from india
UAE developed nuclear bomb they used it against palastine
why should they do that?
Now I understand the normalization of relations with Israel. Must have been a part of the deal before the hitting of the switch.
Yeah why not, why should nuclear POWER be limited to a few, at least this way even a small country can defend against more powerful Enemies.
This video is choked with advertisements. What’s going on Al Jazeera? Unwatchable.
Now you know why, to secure Israel from Pakistan.
We’re all gonna die.
I really hate nuclear power.
I don’t want Chernobyl to happen all over again.
Stop making them.
Nuclear power is one thing, nuclear weapons is other.
b/c they r smart and know future needs otherwise back to desert looking for lizard
risk people in the middle east is war hungry and they don’t care in human life when they kill each other….
Al Jazeera pushing propaganda…. You’ve proven you’re all the same
UAE can’t even build any infastrucutre without outside help what makes you think they can build a nuke.
Turkey have no nükleer Power.
So that sporting 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 of nuclear issue from turkey 🇹🇷 🇹🇷 🇹🇷
🦃 Cant be trusted with nuclare.
Those who still think Nuclear is a good option to use for energy production need to watch the HBO series “Chernobyl”. If it wasn’t for the sacrifice of hundreds of workers and soldiers, which was done during an authoritarian Soviet system, all of Ukraine would have been uninhabitable now.
Now I understand the reason for the peace treaty with Israel at this exact moment. They want to avoid an Israeli sabotage operation.
Because renewable energy will provide consistent power supply which renewable wouldn’t, and if gas is used the country won’t be able to maintain is sustainability targets.
I am not sure why people don’t get this.
Nuclear is the most safe, in long term any other methods has higher costs and more damage to environment then nuclear.
The Persian Gulf forever! Not Arabian…
UAE cant be trusted with nuclare.
Just want 2 say y just , whoever is thr in power or d one world authorities take care of India China
India Kashmir India Pakistan USA russia dubai turkey do something guys , it’s hard time now =
people they just dying cuz of dz whuhan chinese virus😡
Sort this silly fights between neighbouring countries,
Even though every country isn’t self reliant authorities can resolve issues through embassies atleast.
Stop war, stop dominating neighbouring countries, stay safe# Love you all
It’s about arms race not caring about bio diversity nor the power grid
Because it is claim of time.
The world is going to end with this kind of technology. If it is used for destructive purpose.
Thats good nuclear! But the problems are the enemy there..
It’s a hypocrisy when the nuclear armed guys come and tell others that they(other countries) should not have nuclear program as it can endanger safety. So, what message are you sending by having your own nuclear facility? what message? I have hated even the word nuclear from my childhood when I learnt what happened in WW2. When I read about the horror, I cried, literally cried. Just one thing if the nuke guys want others to backdown, they should denuclearize themselves first.
Qatar is jealous now.
Al jazeera is from a muslim country but i never saw a newsreader with a headscarf… So who are they working for?
This has propaganda written all over it.
Very disappointing.
My idea is to reduce the cost of the electricity bill is to make all of the house to put generators machine.
But motor systems of the generator machines are to be electricity driven not diesel or gasoline, that only need one standard household electric cable to start the generator machine giving electricity to the entire house so if house owner wants more electricity power to the house, then the owner of the house must by a bigger generator machine that are again the motor system are electricity driven ? 🤔🕵️♂️🕵️♀️✝️☯️🇵🇭
I work here sence 2014 until now.
Kya Dubai Nucleor bom bna rha hai
2:51 – but keeping the peace in this part of the world isn’t easy, it’s a tough neighbourhood.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Where will tiny UAE evacuate to when that facility is visited by Osama Bin Ladens legion? The Middle East is so chaotic to have in it’s lap a nuclear powder keg.
Nuclear Energy is the best source of clean energy, it uses less space, generates multiples times more power with the least amount of carbon footprint, and with newer generation reactors coming up like thorium even the least desirable facet of nuclear power will diminish as nuclear waste would be reduced to practically nothing.
ww3 nuclear warfare =(
Saudi arabia having nukes is like Bin Laden having nukes, cause thats where his family lives. Bin Laden group are the biggest partners of Saudi Family. Congrats America, you basically gave Bin Laden family nuclear technology. Some one prove me wrong.
Cherylnobol incoming…..
These terrorist makers,sponsers should be wiped off the earth
THAY used lot’s of electric and this is chip BULDING good and protect telecomunicstion be chip to mosly now evryone stay on Internet., in japan hove 27. Reactor and big problem wer hove Fukushima, tech go and people understand is good to hove in USA las Vegas. Plany ☀ but they used nuclear reactor, so we mass be understood if you hove way not other. So live be chenge, special WER country grow,
Two comments I can make are these: 1 – Maybe the US is jealous of having been shut out in the nuclear power exporting biz. And 2 – If the UAE wants a nuke, then let ’em have it. Let them paint a giant bull’s eye on their facility for all the rest of the world cares. Let them experience a Chernobyl for themselves.
there no morality in people of the Middle Easr, unless you are AmericaN
Why west to have nuclear why not all the world to havehow long u fool
This is how the powerful couties doing there hypocrisy flatforms announcing on any big mainstream medias that nuclear power plants are not good for our environment. Specially to small countries that want progress by using nuclear energy to reduce the consumption of Oils from other rich countries.
I hope it’s not built on USA systems. I hope it’s an lftr reactor or a sodium lithid reactor.
this video would be setting a different tone now that UAE signed a peace deal with Israel.
Don’t misguide people with wrong technical info. In type of reactor the steam going to steam turbine never comes to direct contact of nuclear fuel rod…..
Persian Gulf
Persian Gulf states have sun
Yeah 😂,let them blow each other up.After all They have been fighting each other for centuries. This is the Mother of all Bombs.
Pakistan zindabad 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰💪💪💪💪💪💪💪♥️♥️♥️
This reporter getting old now….
I love The irony, a country that got all its wealth selling oil creating climate change. Spends all its wealth building cities and nuclear power plants within the 3M of ocean rise they cause. 🤣 🤣 🤣 how stupid can you get… just lost all the money you made
Safer and cheaper alternatives like what? There is nothing cheaper and cleaner than nuclear. Libtards hate it because it’s not their little wind and solar.
This has nothing to do with liberals. This entire video however, is dumb. There is literally no alternative in terms of energy density vs CO2 emissions other than nuclear. This is going to get worse and the world will become more dangerous, thanks to the idiocy of europeans!
Do you know that,,,The untold and unpublished crucial war between Russia and china side to side their border few years after Korean War, Russia has been ready to NUKE Beijing China but US Pres. Nixxon made a deal with not to do so,,,CCP and PLA is not friendly as we think…!!!???
What do you “Golf”? There are many Golf in this world. You are reporter not a politician nor someone who is paid by Arab countries in the region not to call it for what it is the Gulf you are referring is called Persian Gulf for centuries before any Arab country been created by big powers. If you want to be respected in your profession you must not be influenced by Arab countries in the region to try to erase history of the region.
Bloomberg – A multitrillion-dollar beast is prowling Wall Street, making huge market moves that few can see coming — and it’s getting bigger.
Known as model portfolio investing, it’s a booming corner of money management in which the likes of BlackRock Inc., Vanguard Group and Charles Schwab Corp. bundle funds into ready-made strategies.
It has been around for years, but in an era of fee wars and exchange-traded funds its popularity is exploding. So much cash is now invested that model adjustments are thought to be behind multiple record ETF flows. BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, describes them as “crucial” to its growth strategy.
“We’re seeing about a billion dollars per month coming in from models constructed and managed by BlackRock,” said Armando Senra, head of iShares Americas at the firm. Given how many of its peers are also in the business, that’s “just a small portion of total model flows,” he said.
No one is sure exactly how much cash is now following these templates, but financial technology company Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. estimates it had grown to $3 trillion by the end of the first quarter. A significant chunk is in ETFs, which form the building blocks of the new generation of portfolios.
Model rebalancing has been suspected in a series of dramatic flows recently, including record activity across a suite of Schwab funds in a single week in June. Industry participants also guessed they were behind huge flows in several BlackRock products, and one of Vanguard’s major stock ETFs.
“The liquidity and general flexibility of the ETF wrapper allows model managers to make sizable trades without disrupting the underlying markets — in most instances,” said Ben Johnson, director of global ETF research at Morningstar Inc. “As ETF model portfolios grow larger, their influence on individual ETFs’ flows will grow commensurately.”
Super Models
The boom is a reflection of an increasingly competitive world for both financial advisers and asset managers.
By promoting their own pre-packaged strategies to advisers, big money managers exercise more sway over which funds are recommended and where assets flow. And advisers can spend more time on areas of the business like client retention because they’re saved the headache of allocation.
“A lot of the ingredients have become ubiquitous,” said Leon LaBrecque, chief growth officer at Sequoia Financial Group Ltd. “It’s silly to try to beat the market.”
The prefabricated portfolios can take any shape, so there are options for every need — from equity-focused strategies to multi-asset packages to bundles optimizing tax efficiency or following so-called factors.
Historically, a model portfolio would typically have been created in-house at an advisory using a package of mutual funds. Strategies created by advisers still make up 53% of the market, according to Broadridge’s July report.
But more than 400 new portfolios have launched since 2018, according to a Morningstar analysis published this month. And financial advisers are increasingly drawn to third-party models because they help offload risk, according to Jillian DelSignore, principal at Lakefront Advisory and former head of ETF distribution for JPMorgan Asset Management.
“It allows them to spend more time managing client relationships, forging new client relationships,” she said. “And at the end of the day, it allows them to fire someone if something goes sideways in terms of performance.”
NON-MIDDLE EASTERNS talking about MIDDLE EASTERN issues is a no no
There is no such thing as gulf , it is called ( Persian Gulf ) for centuries .
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA used nuclear weapons on a sovereign nation and killed more than 200000 innocent civilians.
ROGER FALCONER u need to pass your geography class again as u know nothing about it. Don’t use fake names
Al Jazeera
You are
Too much
PALESTINE, a Country on the east shore of the Mediterranean Sea, is sacred to Christians , Jews and Mohammedans. It’s original Name was Canaan, And is also called Promised Land, Land of Israel, Land of Judah or Judah or Judea , and the Holy Land. It includes the land on both sides of the Jordan . Torn by conflict , This embattled land has known many boundary and government under the judges. During the Reigns of David and Solomon , it attained it highest prosperity. Visible decay began with the secession of the ten Tribes, 975 B.C. Assyria crushed the northern kingdom of Israel , approx , 720 B.C., and Babylon the Southern kingdom of Judah , approx. 587 B.C. Since that time Palestine has been under foreign rule by the Persians , Greeks , Romans , and Turks.
EGYPT , the land of northeast Africa . It consists of a valley which the Nile has excavated and annually covers with its black deposit , which is the source of Egypt’s fertility. Moses led the Hebrew people out of Egypt into land of Canaan .

Renewable energies are more effective,and less costly costing and secure for us and the planet !!! It’s why ?
it is Persian Gulf not Gulf you Moron
for sure Iran need to have Nuclear Power
If Saudi Arabia & Iran get nuclear weapons we are doomed.
