JEDDAH - The King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (KACARE) is hosting the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) representatives who arrived in the Kingdom to carry out an integrated nuclear infrastructure review (INIR).

The IAEA team will stay in the Kingdom until July 24. This review is an important reference on which the IAEA bases its assessment of the efforts being exerted by the Kingdom in developing the infrastructure to use atomic energy for peaceful purposes. The review also ensures that the national atomic energy project is harmonized with the requirements of the IAEA.

Based on the review, the IAEA lends its support to the project.

The INIR is seen as a service being provided by the atomic agency to the member states to conduct an integrated and comprehensive assessment in the presence of international experts in nuclear energy programs and infrastructure development.

The aim of this international organization is to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy in the world. It takes measures to prevent any country from using atomic energy for military purposes and for nuclear weapons.
