Science. The Arab Atomic Energy Agency (AAEA) and Consortium Leader of MBIR Reactor International Research Center signed a strategic cooperation agreement on peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The partnership aims to implement joint projects in civil nuclear energy, encompassing scientific research, personnel training, and infrastructure development. “It is an important step for us in implementation of the Arabic Strategy of Peaceful Atomic Energy Use. For example, our cooperation with the IRC MBIR will help to accelerate the works on the project for arrangement of the regional radioactive waste management system which is essential for environmental safety. Joint research with the use of MBIR reactor will enable us to gain new opportunities in development and production of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostics and treatment of oncological diseases in the area of public healthcare,” noted AAEA Director General Dr. Salem Hamdi.
