Morocco has for the first time received the highest level of assurance from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that its nuclear materials are used solely for peaceful purposes, the country’s nuclear regulator said on Tuesday.
The IAEA’s annual safeguards report for 2024 granted Morocco an expanded conclusion, certifying the absence of undeclared nuclear activities, the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR) said in a press release.
The designation reflects Morocco’s adherence to non-proliferation commitments and follows years of IAEA inspections under its Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol, ratified in 1975 and 2011 respectively. The agency verifies nuclear facilities, materials, and related sites to ensure compliance.
AMSSNuR attributed the milestone to strengthened regulatory oversight and cooperation with the IAEA, underscoring Morocco’s commitment to nuclear transparency.
