Exactly this
The UAE got the bigger sibling of this design a massive four pad plant with 5600+ MW of output nothing the West has built in the last 30 years even comes close to those monsters and Dubai is looking at a four pad plant for itself to compete with Abu Dhabi.
[The APR-1400 design was originally developed from the System 80+ design. This was an American reactor design owned by Combustion Engineering, which was later acquired by the US nuclear firm Westinghouse. Because of these historical roots, the manufacturing and international export of the APR-1400 involves underlying US licensing and supply chain partnerships.]
Oh and there is this gem.
Using a specialized low-temperature Multi-Effect Distillation (LT-MED) system with vacuum and spray assist, the waste heat from all four units at the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant could theoretically produce roughly 4.96 million cubic meters (1.31 billion gallons) of freshwater per day.This massive output could meet nearly 80% of the entire United Arab Emirates’ daily domestic water demand purely by capturing energy that is currently discharged directly into the Persian Gulf.
That’s one plant this is why the Middle East is getting nukes if you add in the existing RO plants driven by gas turbines for their electricity needs the nukes replace gas turbines on a per megawatt basis with ease and the cost per kWh is cheaper with nukes not built in the USA with crazy Union labor and lawfare jacking the prices up. The Koreans and Chinese both just build shit and tell the lawyers and unions to shove it.
