Nuclear Energy Proliferation and Security
in the Middle East

Recent international developments have sparked a change in attitudes, policies and perceptions towards non-conventional energy resources, including nuclear energy. Currently, a number of Arab countries are in various stages of planning towards possessing nuclear energy facilities.
The introduction and the emergence of nuclear energy capabilities in the region poses a number of challenges pertaining to operations, management, safety as well as other aspects.

The meeting will likely focus on several of the following tracks:
- Developing an appropriate framework to regulate the spread of nuclear energy facilities within the Middle
   East (and/or) utilizing other existing International frameworks (e.g. Erratum).
- The impact of emerging bilateral and multilateral nuclear partnership protocols.
- The feasibility of establishing a dedicated nuclear fuel production cycle (e.g. an Arab cycle, a Mediterranean
   cycle ... etc)
- Physical security of nuclear facilities, environmental implications .... etc.

Individuals and organizations interested in participating in the event (or submitting papers) should submit an Expression of Interest Form.
