The UAE gets a “complete transparency” classification from “International Atomic Energy”

The UAE obtained the classification of “complete transparency” from the International Atomic Energy Agency, for the third year in a row in the context of the agency’s report on the guarantees for the year 2024, which confirms the full commitment of the country to the requirements of international agreements for the prohibition of nuclear proliferation and guarantees and the peace of its nuclear energy program.

This classification embodies the fact that all nuclear materials in the UAE are used exclusively for peaceful purposes, which reflects the effectiveness and efficiency of its regulatory infrastructure, its fixed approach based on absolute transparency, and its careful compliance with its international obligations in the field of nuclear proliferation.

Obtaining the agency’s recognition of this matter depends on the information provided by the UAE under the nuclear spread agreements with the agency, including details about nuclear facilities and operations and reports on nuclear materials and technologies, and it also includes additional information that the UAE voluntarily shares, and the agency verifies the authenticity of this information through inspection and evaluation, taking into account other sources such as information available to the public.

With this recognition, the agency began implementing “integrated guarantees” in the UAE, which supports supervisory efforts and allows to reduce inspection procedures, while maintaining high standards of oversight, as the implementation of integrated guarantees enhances international recognition of the UAE’s commitment to nuclear transparency and achieves operational competencies for both the authority and licenses.

In 2021, the UAE has achieved an important step in strengthening its guarantees and its commitment to prohibiting nuclear spread by completing the last part of its sub -arrangements with the agency, which reflects the state’s commitment to all its duty under the agreement of guarantees signed between the two parties, and the UAE continued to implement its program to support the guarantees of the agency during the year 2024, where it provided knowledge, expertise and resources to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the agency’s measures in this The field.
