Abstract EN

Nuclear energy plays an important role in the development of the economy and is considered as a key element with regard to the growth of the world energy demand due to the limitation of other natural energy resources, its contribution to the protection of the environment and the reduction of CO2 emission.

Several countries, including some Arab countries, are planning to consider the nuclear option in the near future.

To provide an assurance to the international community of the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, the International Atomic Energy Agency established legal tools, called Safeguards Agreements, to be accepted by every state willing to run nuclear programmes for peaceful purposes.

The most important basis required by these agreements is the State System of Accounting for and Control (SSAC) of Nuclear Material, which plays a primary role for effective and efficient fulfilment of the state commitment with regard to the international safeguards agreements.

The requirements for the set-up of an SSAC, its role, its objectives and its fundamental elements are deeply presented.
