UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
On Friday 24 July, 2015 two senior Royal Commission staff departed Australia to visit to the United Arab Emirates and inspect the world’s newest nuclear power plant development.
During this visit, the Royal Commission met with officials from the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation and Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation and discussed matters such as the four major reactors in the UAE, what types of regulatory frameworks have been implemented, what structures and safety processes are in place and what could be learnt from the UAE’s further engagement in the nuclear fuel cycle.
