El Dabaa (
As of 2017, El Dabaa had an estimated population of 49,805.
In 2012, a story published in the news section of Nature Journal website, stated that:"... [radioactive] material was taken from a laboratory at the El Dabaa nuclear power plant on the country's Mediterranean coast."[2] But as of 2020, the El Dabaa nuclear power plant was only bare land.[3] As of 2017, only the first stage of preliminary engineering survey was conducted and the hydrographic and hydrological survey work was carried on. The construction on the plant was expected to start in 2020, but at the beginning of 2021 it was still in the waiting.[4]
El Dabaa has been targeted by protesters who are claiming that their land was wrongly taken by the government to make way for the nuclear plant. As of 2012, and as a result of those protests, the proposed construction site[3] was shut down.[2] The protests that targeted El Dabaa was ended by the court announcing that they had the right to the land.[citation needed]
El Dabaa Nuclear Project
The residents of El Dabaa decided to give up the land.[5] The Armed Forces thanked the residents of El-Dabaa for their contributions in handing over the land allocated for the establishment of nuclear power plant. In a statement released on 30 September 2013, Egyptian Army spokesman Ahmed Mohammed Ali said that the Army is committed to taking the necessary procedures to compensate those affected from the project.[6]
