American Nuclear Society condemns attack on UAE's Barakah nuclear power plant
Washington, D.C. — The American Nuclear Society (ANS) issued the following statement:
"The American Nuclear Society condemns today's drone attack on the outer perimeter of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the United Arab Emirates. The IAEA has confirmed that radiation levels are normal and no injuries have been reported. The safety systems performed as designed, a demonstration of the layered protections built into robust modern nuclear facilities. Incidents like this reinforce the importance of the IAEA's calls for maximum military restraint around nuclear power reactors, and of full adherence by all combatants to the IAEA's seven pillars for nuclear safety and security during armed conflict."

MRF specializes in the engineering, manufacture, and servicing of precision high-temperature vacuum/ controlled-atmosphere furnaces for demanding production and R&D applications. Our systems are deployed in a wide range of advanced thermal processes. These include densification/sintering, graphitization, pyrolysis/binder removal, hot pressing, CVD, and vacuum brazing. We provide a comprehensive portfolio of furnace systems utilized in the fabrication or development of composites (C-C & CMC's), advanced ceramic materials (B4C, Si3N4, AlN & SiC) and refractory metals (Ta, Nb, W, Re, Mo, Ti & alloys). For unique process and test requirements, we develop custom solutions with our clients. MRF's engineering team created a continuous 150T hot-press system, North America's largest capacity composite (C-C & CMC) pyrolysis systems, three dimensional (3D) hot-press system, and other highly productive thermal systems.
