Paris, 23 June 2025 – In line with its mission to strengthen national capacities in nuclear safety and security, the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR) was represented by its Secretary General, Mr. Reda NOUR, at the Master Class organized by the International Institute of Nuclear Energy (I2EN) in Paris, from 23 to 27 June 2025.

This high-level event, entitled “Strategic Fundamentals for New Nuclear,” brought together government officials, experts, regulators, financial institutions, and nuclear industry stakeholders from around the world. The Master Class aimed to provide a comprehensive strategic understanding of the essential foundations required to develop new nuclear programs, at a time when nuclear energy is once again emerging as a central pillar in the future global energy mix.

Throughout this intensive week, participants engaged in meaningful exchanges with leading French experts, explored concrete case studies, and shared experiences with peers. The program also included technical visits to the CEA Saclay Research Center, the EdF campus, and the Emergency Equipment Centre of the ASNR, offering a hands-on view of France’s capabilities in nuclear innovation, training, and research. This immersion provided valuable insight into how France organizes its governance, develops its nuclear infrastructure, and plans for the sustainable management of nuclear materials and waste.

Discussions addressed critical aspects such as strategic planning prior to political decision-making, the economic and social viability of nuclear projects, the development of robust regulatory frameworks aligned with international standards, and the cultivation of long-term human capital. Key topics such as safety, security, safeguards, and emergency preparedness were approached through an integrated and forward-looking lens.

Through its participation, AMSSNuR continues to reinforce its regulatory and strategic vision, strengthen its professional network with key players in the global nuclear sector, and identify best practices that can be tailored to the Moroccan context—with the goal of supporting the future development of a responsible, well-governed, and sustainable national nuclear program.
