Description
The AAEA works since 1989 to enhance the socio-economical development
in Arab countries by promoting the peaceful applications of atomic
energy in many aspects of life.
The AAEA is implementing “The Arab Strategy for Peaceful use of Atomic
Energy up to 2020”, which focusses on: the introduction of nuclear
science in educational institutions; the use of nuclear technologies
to improve plant and animal production; food and radiation processing
methods; the use of nuclear technology in the diagnosis and treatment
of diseases; the use of nuclear techniques in water resources
management; the integration of the production of radioactive isotopes
among Arab countries; the use of EB accelerators in irradiation
operations and processing materials; the use of ion accelerators in
the field of analysis and properties improvement and strengthening and
promoting of the Arab capabilities in the field of NDT.
Under the framework of the above topics, AAEA has implemented many
training courses, workshops, experts meetings, expert missions,
scientific visits, conferences and seminars which will be detailed in
the presentation.
For the implementation of the activities, AAEA is using country
infrastructure such as: research reactors (RRs) that can produce
radioisotopes (Egypt–2, Algeria–2, Libya–1, Morocco–1, Syria–1,
Jordan–1); ion accelerator (cyclotron) for the production of
radioisotopes such as PET (Morocco, Algeria, Syria, Saudi Arabia,
Egypt); ion accelerator (VDG) for material researches and analysis
(Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Algeria); electron accelerator (LINAC)
for research and industrial applications (Tunis, Egypt, Syria,
Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, UAE, Kuwait); electron accelerator
(LINAC) for nuclear medicine radiotherapy (all Arab countries) and
$\gamma$-irradiators ($\gamma$-ray) for medical applications and others
(all Arab countries).
