Saudi Arabia preparing to grant IAEA additional inspection powers under US-Saudi nuclear deal
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi announced that Saudi Arabia is preparing to go beyond its core safeguards obligations by granting the agency additional verification and monitoring authorizations for sensitive nuclear activities. These powers would cover uranium enrichment, conversion, and reprocessing, and would be similar to those under the Additional Protocol, though Riyadh has not committed to signing the Protocol itself. The US and Saudi Arabia reached a civil nuclear cooperation agreement in July allowing uranium enrichment and reactor construction with US technology.
