The aim of the research program is to enhance the capabilities of the UAE to simulate radionuclides dispersion in marine, atmospheric, and continental environments taking place for regional and local features. Since the UAE has started a nuclear program by constructing four nuclear power plants, the country is putting intensive efforts in increasing human capability on nuclear safety. This objective is in-line with the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, as it serves the purpose of the development of a highly-skilled, science-oriented, workforce of UAE Nationals, and it lays the foundations for research & development in the field of nuclear energy safe usage, which not only supports the Plan’s goal of diversification of the Emirate’s economy, but also minimizes the impact of this newly adopted sustainable energy source on the natural environment.
