UAE to set up nuclear agency: reports

by Staff Writers
 Dubai (AFP) March 24, 2008
 The United Arab Emirates will set up an agency to assess and develop a civilian nuclear energy programme for the oil-rich Gulf state, local newspapers reported on Monday.

The Emirati cabinet authorised the creation of the Nuclear Energy Authority which will have "the mandate to evaluate and develop a peaceful nuclear energy programme in line with the recommendations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)," Gulf News quoted the official WAM news agency as saying.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy visited the UAE in January and agreed to help the pro-Western state develop civilian nuclear energy.

The UAE is a member of the pro-Western Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) along with Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

Amid concerns over Iran's nuclear aims and regional clout, GCC members decided in December 2006 to develop a joint nuclear technology programme for peaceful uses.

Gulf News said the UAE is expected to double its power capacity over the next decade to supply a rapidly-growing population and a myriad of huge industrial projects.
