A Nuclear Newcomer - Interview with Ambassador Hamad Al Kaabi
14 June 2013 | At today's growth rate the United Arab Emirates expects domestic demand for electricity to double by 2020. To meet these demands the government of this oil-rich nation had to re-think its energy policy. Extensive studies concluded that nuclear power was the best way forward. Ambassador Hamad Al Kaabi, Permanent Representative of the United Arab Emirates to the IAEA, discusses his country's decision to introduce nuclear power.

IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano delivered a statement to the Agency's Board of Governors, announcing that this year's IAEA Scientific Forum, entitled The Blue Planet, in September will focus on protecting the coastal and marine environment, 3 June 2013.
The IAEA, through its Office of Nuclear Security, supports its Member States' efforts to improve the security of nuclear and other radioactive materials in use or storage at medical and industrial facilities or power plants. This assistance stems from the recognition that there is a high risk that nuclear or other radioactive material could be used for malicious purposes. In April 2013, funds from the IAEA's Nuclear Security Fund were used to condition and securely store highly radioactive disused sources at the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute in Manila, 22 May 2013.
The IAEA helps its Member States find long-term solutions for the safe and secure storage of disused sealed radioactive sources. Vilmos Friedrich is a radioactive waste expert in the IAEA Department of Nuclear Energy, 22 May 2013.
