UAE nuclear facilities used for "peaceful purposes," report concludes
The UAE has received the highest level of assurance granted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for the third consecutive year, declaring that all nuclear material in the country is being used for peaceful purposes. The "Broader Conclusion" in the IAEA's 2024 Safeguards Implementation Report is based on information the UAE provides under its non-proliferation agreements with the Agency- including details about nuclear sites, their operations, and reports on nuclear materials and technologies. It also includes additional information the UAE shares voluntarily. The IAEA verifies the validity of this information through inspections, evaluations, and assessment, while also considering other sources like open-source information or third-party reports. As a result of the Broader Conclusion, the IAEA has commenced the implementation of 'Integrated Safeguards,' in the UAE. This approach optimises verification efforts and allows for a reduction in inspection frequency, while maintaining high standards of oversight. The implementation of Integrated Safeguards not only reinforces international recognition of the UAE's commitment to nuclear transparency but also delivers operational efficiencies for both FANR and its Licensees. In 2021 the UAE marked a key step in strengthening its safeguards system and commitment to nuclear non-proliferation by completing the final part of its Subsidiary Arrangements with the IAEA, fulfilling all obligations under the Safeguards Agreement. The UAE continued to implement its Safeguards Support Programme to the IAEA throughout 2024, providing knowledge, expertise, and resources to enhance the effectiveness and efficacy of IAEA safeguards.
