Rabat – The Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNUR) and the Spanish Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) signed a Memorandum of Understanding on nuclear power on Monday in the Moroccan capital.
Through this agreement, the two regulatory authorities will exchange information on issues related to the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
Morocco and Spain are seeking to share experiences and lessons learned from nuclear accidents; improve safety and security; and ensure communication in case of a nuclear or radiological crisis, says a statement from the AMSSNUR.
This memorandum is part of AMSSNUR’s support program, which includes monitoring and cooperating with other users of nuclear power.
This program is built on exchange and collaboration sharing expertise and experience, in accordance with Article 172 of the Law No. 142-12 on the safety and security of nuclear and radiological safety, according to the same source.
“This program is expected to grow further in the future, given the number of MoUs initiated both regionally and internationally,” the statement said.
The memorandum was signed in the presence of the Spanish ambassador to Morocco, Ricardo-Diez-Hochleintner Rodriguez, and the president of the CSN, Fernando Marti Scharfhausen.
