Auhorities of Egypt's El Daaba nuclear power plant accused Russian Rosatom of serious violations and negligence in the construction of the plant - Politico. Defects were found in the foundations of three reactor units, and it took Rosatom a year to fix them. Voids and other defects were also found in the structure of another reactor unit. Russian workers involved into the plant's construction were accused of carrying out sham work that would create the appearance that more work has been completed than they actually carried out. Rosatom employees on site were also accused of possessing prohibited alcoholic beverages, forging passes and impersonating other people to gain unauthorized access and concealing an injury incident by taking an injured worker in a private vehicle instead of calling an ambulance. The plant was supposed to generate its first electricity in 2028, and all four reactors were supposed to be operational by 2030. However, even Rosatom's internal audit revealed that these deadlines will not be met. Now, the first reactor is supposed to be completed somewhere between September 2028 and March 2030. The scandal in Egypt could also affect the situation in Hungary, where authorities have launched an investigation into the Paks II nuclear power plant project, which is also being built by Rosatom.
