About the Emirates Nuclear Technology Center (ENTC)
The Emirates Nuclear Technology Center is a joint research center operated under a cooperation agreement with the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) and the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR). It addresses the present and future research requirements to support the UAE’s nuclear power program and its key stakeholders for the delivery of safe, clean and efficient nuclear energy to meet the Abu Dhabi Vision 2030 and the UAE National Energy Strategy 2050.
The ENTC’s mission is to conduct research in the main thematic areas of nuclear technology necessary to ensure the safe and optimal operation of the nuclear power plants and to develop the utilization of advance nuclear technology in the UAE. ENTC’s activities are structured around four thematic areas: Nuclear Safety and Systems, Nuclear Materials and Chemistry, Radiation Safety in the Environment and Advanced Nuclear Technology.
