The Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission is aligned with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, contributing to the Kingdom’s direction toward diversifying energy sources and supporting the national atomic energy program. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is moving toward the utilization of nuclear energy and its radiological applications for peaceful purposes, while continuing to implement its comprehensive national nuclear energy program across all its components. This includes the development of the Kingdom’s first nuclear power plant, which will contribute to shaping the national energy mix and achieving sustainable development, in line with national requirements and within the framework of international commitments. This approach strengthens the Kingdom’s position in adopting advanced technologies and supports its overall development trajectory.
Furthermore, the Commission plays a pivotal regulatory role by overseeing nuclear and radiological activities and practices, and by implementing the necessary measures to ensure safety and security, as well as protecting people and the environment from potential risks. It also seeks to maximize the benefits of nuclear and radiological technologies in the medical field, while ensuring their safe use in industrial, agricultural, and other applications. These efforts contribute to economic growth and enhance quality of life, ultimately supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
