Mr. Saïd Mouline, Director General of the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR), participated, from April 27 to 30, 2026 in Vienna, in a high-level international conference organized under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

From April 27 to 30, 2026, Vienna hosted the international conference entitled “International Conference on Effective Nuclear and Radiation Regulatory Systems: Strengthening Competence, Agility and Connection in the Modern Era.” This high-level event brought together regulatory authorities, policymakers, and international experts with the objective of strengthening regulatory systems to enhance nuclear and radiological safety and security at the global level. The conference also aimed to build on the outcomes of previous editions and to examine the evolution of regulatory systems in order to further strengthen nuclear and radiological safety and security worldwide, while identifying concrete pathways to address contemporary challenges.

In this context, Mr. Mouline took part in the proceedings of the conference, notably by contributing to the panel entitled “Shaping the Effective Regulator: Competence, Agility and Connection for a Changing World,” alongside senior international officials, including Mr. Juan Carlos Lentijo, Chairman of the Spanish Nuclear Safety Council (CSN), Ms. Ndeye Arame Boye Faye, Director General of the Senegalese Authority for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (ARSN), Mr. Zia Hussain Shah, Chairman of the Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority (PNRA), and Mr. Andrzej Głowacki, President of the National Atomic Energy Agency of Poland (PAA). This panel provided an opportunity to examine the key components of an effective regulatory authority in a context where safety requirements are increasingly influenced by rapid technological developments.

During his intervention, Mr. Mouline emphasized that the implementation of regulatory agility on the ground continues to face structural challenges, particularly in terms of qualified human resources, adaptation of legal and regulatory frameworks, and integration of technological innovations. Regarding the concept of regulatory effectiveness, he underlined that it relies on the ability of the regulatory framework to ensure real, sustainable, and measurable protection, while remaining credible, transparent, and exemplary. He also highlighted the importance of continuous capacity-building through training, as well as maintaining a high level of organizational performance through the consolidation of the Integrated Management System.

Beyond his contribution, this international event provided an opportunity for Mr. Mouline to engage in bilateral and multilateral discussions aimed at strengthening technical and institutional partnerships.

In conclusion, AMSSNuR’s participation in this international conference reflects its strong commitment to pursuing the global momentum of regulatory excellence, while reinforcing the Kingdom’s position as an active and responsible partner in international efforts led by the IAEA.
