ENEC, Westinghouse sign deal to accelerate nuclear energy deployment in US

WASHINGTON DC - The Emirates Nuclear Energy Company (ENEC) and Westinghouse Electric Company on Thursday signed a Memorandum of Understanding exploring collaboration opportunities for the deployment of advanced nuclear energy solutions in the United States. Signed in Washington DC, the agreement is aligned with US priorities to quadruple the nation's nuclear generation by 2050 to meet rising power demand, including from the expansion of AI and the technology sector. The collaboration will leverage ENEC's world-class expertise in large-scale nuclear development and operations and Westinghouse's industry leading nuclear technologies. Under the MoU, the companies will explore ways to accelerate the deployment of the fully licensed, construction-ready AP1000® reactor in the US. In addition, ENEC and Westinghouse will look at ways to collaborate across a broad range of opportunities, including new build and restart projects in the US, development of commercial and operational deployment models for AP1000 reactors, and fuel supply chains, operations and maintenance services. Mohamed Al Hammadi, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of ENEC, said, "The world is turning to nuclear energy as a necessity for delivering clean and reliable baseload electricity to meet power demand in parallel with protecting the grid. With ENEC's proven track record in developing one of the world's most advanced nuclear energy programmes, our collaboration with Westinghouse brings together two leaders in our fields. This marks a significant step in supporting the United States' bold ambitions to rapidly expand its nuclear fleet, reinforcing the deep and long-standing energy partnership between the UAE and the United States.' Dan Sumner, Interim CEO of Westinghouse, said, 'The US has a bold vision to have 10 large-scale nuclear reactors under construction by 2030, and Westinghouse is working closely with industry partners to make this a reality. Our AP1000 technology is the only fully licensed, construction-ready large modular reactor available today to deliver this goal. In addition to driving billions of dollars of direct economic impact for the nation, an AP1000 fleet deployment will create tens of thousands of good paying manufacturing, engineering, and construction jobs. We believe that ENEC's expertise in large-scale nuclear deployment will help us achieve this objective.' The partnership aligns with ENEC's broader strategy to pursue opportunities for investment, collaboration and deployment of nuclear technologies internationally, to support the rapid delivery of civil nuclear energy to boost energy security and sustainability. By sharing the expertise and insights gained from the successful delivery and operation of the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant, ENEC is supporting other countries and organisations seeking to integrate nuclear energy into their clean energy strategies, accelerating responsible nuclear energy growth to meet rising global power demands while strengthening power grids.

AI in corporate affairs: Reputation at the speed of conflict

Driving into the office, I caught the Business Breakfast on Dubai Eye. The topic: a sophisticated SharePoint vulnerability exploited by China-linked state actors, targeting critical infrastructure in the US and Germany. The story hit close to home for several reasons. At KROHNE, like many industrial firms, we're heavily reliant on SharePoint — and in the Middle East, we still operate with physical servers rather than cloud. While this particular breach didn't trigger a media frenzy or reputational fallout, the technical expert being interviewed made a key point that stayed with me: AI was used to both accelerate the attack and drive the defence. This is exactly the position corporate affairs teams now find themselves in. Whether it's a cyber incident or a reputational one, AI is collapsing the timeline — and redefining the rules. Reputation and cybersecurity now share the same clock The SharePoint exploit (CVE-2025-49704 and 49706) wasn't about PR. It was about exfiltrating cryptographic keys, embedding backdoors, and quietly probing networks. But had there been a secondary reputational vector — say, falsified press statements or synthetic media targeting stakeholders — the consequences would have unfolded in real time. In today's environment, it's not just what happens — it's how fast your team knows, responds, and resets the narrative. That's the shift. Reputation used to be shaped over time. Now it's shaped in minutes — by algorithms, automated feeds, and sentiment at scale. AI can hurt you — and help you recover In the wrong hands, AI can generate fake stakeholder letters, deepfake video statements, or bots impersonating customers and employees. None of this is hypothetical anymore. But AI can also flag anomalies faster than any analyst, monitor global sentiment in real time, and triage which reputational risks need human escalation. We're entering an era where reputation management is no longer about being reactive. It's about being ready. Corporate affairs needs tools that talk to each other Reputation protection is now a team sport — and your comms, legal, and IT functions need shared systems that work at machine speed. You can't respond to an AI-generated crisis with manual workflows or defend your CEO's credibility with a three-day press release process. And you can't monitor reputation in real time if your data sits in silos. This isn't about new platforms. It's about interoperability, trust, and readiness. Three moves to future-proof your reputation function Scenario-train for AI-infused narrative risks Crisis simulations often focus on operational impact — downtime, customer data, supply chain disruption. Now is the time to build in parallel simulations around reputational attack vectors: What if a deepfake CEO video surfaces at 5pm on a Friday? What if AI-generated emails claim your company is withdrawing from a market or cutting staff? Your legal and communications teams need to be rehearsed, resourced, and empowered to act on gut and data — not wait for permission. Fuse legal, communications, and digital intelligence Narrative risk doesn't sit neatly in one department. AI-generated misinformation might start as a social media post, but it quickly becomes a compliance issue, a market signal, and a legal minefield. Companies that respond effectively will be those that build cross-functional fluency and fast-track decisions between legal, corporate affairs, and digital monitoring teams. Invest in an AI-powered reputation audit now — before it's reactive Map how your organisation uses AI in customer-facing roles, where your reputational exposure lies across platforms and geographies, and which tools can give you early warning when sentiment shifts. Think of it as a reputational telemetry system: always-on, integrated, and geared for action. The SharePoint breach didn't cause reputational damage, at least as far as we can se — but it could have. The difference wasn't just security posture. It was speed, readiness, and system-level awareness. In reputational terms, AI is no longer the future — it's the terrain. The companies that come through the next wave of shocks intact won't be the ones with the most polished messaging. They'll be the ones who saw the signal first, acted fast, and had the internal fluency to respond with clarity, not chaos. The question isn't whether you'll face a machine-speed narrative threat. It's whether you'll be ready to respond at the same pace — or faster. By Jonathan Ashton, Head of Marketing and Communications, KROHNE Middle East and Africa
