On Thursday, the Council of the Gouvernment approved draft decree no. 2.24.920 creating the National Commission for Nuclear, Radiological, Biological and Chemical Risk Management, presented by the Minister of Interior Abdelouafi Laftit.

The aim of this draft decree is to establish a framework for coordination between the various government departments and bodies concerned, which requires the creation of a horizontal framework bringing together all those involved in nuclear, radiological, biological and chemical safety and security, said Mustapha Baitas, Minister Delegate for Relations with Parliament and Government Spokesman, at a press briefing following the Council meeting.

The draft decree also aims to establish an organic text enabling the creation of a national commission called the “National Commission for Nuclear, Radiological, Biological and Chemical Risk Management”, he added.

As part of its vision to strengthen cooperative relations at both regional and international levels, the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR) has intensified its bilateral engagements with representatives of regulatory bodies operating in its areas of expertise. These exchanges aim to open new avenues for collaboration and lay the groundwork for future joint projects.

In this context, Mr. Saïd MOULINE, Director General of AMSSNuR, successively hosted Mr. Jean-Luc LACHAUME, Commissioner of the French Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (ASNR), Ms. Ditebogo KGOMO, Chief Executive Officer of the National Nuclear Regulator of South Africa (NNR), and Mr. Yau IDRIS, Director General of the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA) and Chair of the Forum of Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in Africa (FNRBA). These meetings, held on the sidelines of the launch of the INSC project in Rabat from February 11 to 13, 2025, provided an opportunity to explore avenues of cooperation between AMSSNuR and these institutions, both bilaterally and multilaterally, with the aim of enhancing nuclear and radiological safety and security.

 

In the same spirit, Mr. MOULINE also welcomed Mr. James KETER CHUMBA, Director General of the Kenyan Nuclear Regulatory Authority (KNRA), during a working visit. This meeting served as an opportunity to share AMSSNuR’s regulatory oversight experience and to strengthen cooperation between the two institutions on topics of mutual interest.

 

Through these initiatives, AMSSNuR reaffirms its commitment to strengthening regulatory capacities in Africa and establishing robust collaborative frameworks for effective, harmonized, and sustainable nuclear safety.
