The Government Council, on Thursday in Rabat, adopted a draft decree concerning nuclear and radiological safety and security, along with the establishment of the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security.
The decree was presented by Leila Benali, Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development.
This draft decree, No. 2.24.402, implements Section Three of Chapter IV of Title I of the law on nuclear and radiological safety and security, as well as the creation of the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security.
It specifically addresses the application of safeguards under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
The decree aims to define the requirements for sharing information with the newly established agency regarding facilities, locations, and the import and export of related materials and technologies.
Government spokesperson Mustapha Baitas explained during a press briefing that this measure aligns with the provisions of Articles 116 and 117 of Law No. 142.12.
Additionally, the draft decree sets out provisions for establishing a national system to account for and control nuclear materials through the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security.
It also includes guidelines for both national inspection operations and those carried out by inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
