Morocco achieves top IAEA assurance for peaceful nuclear use
For the first time, Morocco has received the highest level of assurance from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that its nuclear materials are used exclusively for peaceful purposes, the country's nuclear regulator announced on Tuesday. The IAEA's 2024 annual safeguards report granted Morocco an expanded conclusion, confirming the absence of undeclared nuclear activities, the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR) stated in a press release. This designation reflects Morocco's strong commitment to non-proliferation and follows years of IAEA inspections under its Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol, ratified in 1975 and 2011 respectively. The agency conducts thorough verification of nuclear facilities, materials, and related sites to ensure compliance. AMSSNuR credited this milestone to enhanced regulatory oversight and close cooperation with the IAEA, highlighting Morocco's dedication to nuclear transparency.

Morocco's Nuclear Compliance Reaches New Heights with IAEA's Top-Level Assurance
Rabat – Morocco has obtained the highest level of assurance from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regarding its compliance with nuclear safeguards. The announcement was made by the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR) today, noting that this the first time that the country has achieved this milestone. The IAEA stated in its 2024 annual safeguards implementation report that Morocco qualifies for what is known as the 'broader conclusion.' A recognition of Morocco's consistent nuclear transparency This designation confirms that all nuclear material present in Morocco is exclusively used for peaceful purposes. The announcement marks a major milestone for the country and reflects the strength of its regulatory infrastructure, its consistent commitment to nuclear transparency, and its full adherence to international non-proliferation obligations. This recognition comes as the result of years of verification work conducted under the framework of the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and its Additional Protocol, which Morocco ratified in 1975 and 2011, respectively. IAEA's inspections cover information related to nuclear facilities and activities, including operations conducted outside traditional installations, as well as the use of nuclear materials and related technologies. AMSSNuR also noted that achieving this level of assurance is the outcome of sustained efforts by the agency and all relevant national stakeholders to uphold Morocco's international obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and safeguard agreements with the IAEA. The larger conclusion is the highest level of verification confidence conferred upon by the IAEA. It puts Morocco in a small league with other countries known globally for the transparent and peaceful use of nuclear material. In September 2024, Morocco was unanimously elected to the Board of Governors of the IAEA for the 2024-2026 term during the agency's 68th General Conference in Vienna, reflecting its growing influence in international forums. Established in 1957 under the United Nations, the IAEA is responsible for promoting the peaceful use of nuclear energy and preventing its military misuse. Morocco's achievement of the highest level of verification confidence by the IAEA places it among a select group of countries recognized globally for their transparent and peaceful handling of nuclear material.
