Morocco represented by the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR) has succeeded in getting a seat on the Nuclear Safety Standards Commission (CNS) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The director of AMSSNuR, Khammar Mrabit, has just been appointed, for four years, by the IAEA director general as a member of the CNS, said the Moroccan Agency in a press release, noting that this appointment testifies to the recognition and prestige enjoyed by the Kingdom of Morocco in Africa and internationally in the strategic areas of nuclear and radiological safety and security.
This prestigious commission, the same source went on to say, represents a permanent body made up of 25 senior officials and national experts, from more than 170 member states of the IAEA, responsible for establishing standards and guidelines for nuclear and radiological safety and security and other regulatory documents relating to the use of nuclear energy, ionizing radiation, transport of radioactive materials and waste, as well as the preparation and response to nuclear or radiological emergencies.
The ambition is to provide strategic guidance for the development, review and approval of safety standards, basic texts of principles and safety requirements to be submitted to the IAEA Board of Governors for approval.
