Establishing the Nuclear Power Plants Authority (Egypt, Law No. 13, 1976) in English

Law No. 13 of 1976 establishes Egypt's Nuclear Power Plants Authority (NPPA), the state body mandated to build and operate nuclear power stations. Created in the optimism of the 1970s, the NPPA waited four decades for its flagship project — it is today the owner of the El-Dabaa plant being built with Rosatom — which makes its founding statute anything but a historical curiosity.

Vendors and contractors on Egyptian nuclear work, project financiers examining the NPPA's legal basis, and energy-policy researchers are the readers of this text.
