Introducing NUAA; The Natural Arab Uranium Agency

NUAA represents a continuation of discussions hosted by the Wise Men Committee hosted by the league of Arab States. The committee discussed nuclear non-proliferation and the prospects of regional nuclear programs in the region. The committee's final document proposed that the Arab Institute for Security Studies (founder of NUAA) to have a role in regional fuel cycle activities.

NUAA seeks to develop a step-by-step approach towards achieving "Regional Nuclear Fuel Cycle in the Middle East'; NUAA is hosted and managed by the Arab Institute for Security Studies (based in Jordan).

NUAA firmly believe that the complicated process of a regional fuel cycle should start on a gradual basis by adopting a step-by-step approach. The gradual approach is needed to provide assurances, promote confidence and transparency. The Natural Uranium Arab Agency (NUAA) intends to benefit from enriched uranium capabilities without actually pursuing enrichment – as a first step. NUAA seeks to build a natural uranium reserve that could bartered for LEU if need arises.

NUAA activities are conducted in fair and transparent manner in accordance with IAEA principles. NUAA is registered as a Jordanian private sector company providing its services to member states as well as non-member states.
