For the first time, Morocco has received the highest level of assurance from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that its nuclear materials are used exclusively for peaceful purposes, the country’s nuclear regulator announced on Tuesday.
The IAEA’s 2024 annual safeguards report granted Morocco an expanded conclusion, confirming the absence of undeclared nuclear activities, the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR) stated in a press release.
This designation reflects Morocco’s strong commitment to non-proliferation and follows years of IAEA inspections under its Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol, ratified in 1975 and 2011 respectively. The agency conducts thorough verification of nuclear facilities, materials, and related sites to ensure compliance.
AMSSNuR credited this milestone to enhanced regulatory oversight and close cooperation with the IAEA, highlighting Morocco’s dedication to nuclear transparency.
