Egypt's NRRA Chief: We Monitor Radiation Levels Around the Clock, Possess Advanced Infrastructure to Ensure Top Safety Standards

Ahmed Emam Egypt's Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority (NRRA) is maintaining round-the-clock monitoring of radiation levels nationwide as well as in neighboring regions, according to Dr. Sami Shaaban, Chairman of the NRRA. His remarks come amid heightened regional tensions and reflect Egypt's commitment to nuclear safety and environmental protection. Dr. Shaaban explained that the NRRA is responsible for regulating all nuclear and radiological activities across Egypt to ensure public safety. The Authority continuously tracks background radiation levels through a network of monitoring stations distributed throughout the country. It also issues regulatory guidelines for licensed activities, reviews technical documentation, inspects sites, and conducts both scheduled and surprise inspections to enforce compliance with safety standards. Amid recent regional developments, the NRRA has intensified its monitoring activities, extending surveillance beyond Egypt's borders to track radiation levels in countries such as Syria, Gulf states, and European Union nations. The Authority submits regular reports on these efforts to the Egyptian Cabinet. Egypt's nuclear regulatory system relies on a robust infrastructure and organizational structure, comprising three main regulatory sectors: the Nuclear Facilities Safety Sector, the Radiological Facilities and Sources Safety Sector, and the Nuclear Security Safeguards Sector. Supporting departments include quality management, legal affairs, a Center of Excellence, cooperation and public relations, technical support and laboratories, and a Situation Assessment Center. The NRRA operates advanced laboratories equipped with cutting-edge technology for analysis and measurements, enabling precise regulatory decisions. It also provides technical and scientific support to other regulatory bodies at the national level. Dr. Shaaban highlighted that the Authority benefits from full support from the Egyptian state, reflected in technical collaborations with international partners, including Russia and European Union countries. He added that the NRRA has implemented an integrated electronic performance management system based on good governance principles, ensuring institutional efficiency and transparency. He also underscored the crucial role of the NRRA's Center of Excellence in developing and enhancing the skills of technical personnel. "The Center conducts professional assessments and identifies specific training needs for each regulatory sector, strengthening the Authority's capacity to carry out its oversight and regulatory functions with high professionalism," he concluded. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean Arts & Culture "6 Ayam" Sets Streaming Date
