I've question about the Emirati nuclear program:
Does the deal includes the extraction of plutonium from spent nuclear fuel and/or to enrich uranium?
No, never. That would basically give them the ability to build a bomb. NPT and FANR regulations would never allow anything remotely close to that, neither would the AAEA. All spent fuel is to be stored & monitored for 20 years then returned to supplier.
Wastes
The UAE is committed to a “dual track” radioactive waste management strategy that involves developing a national storage and disposal programme in parallel with exploring regional cooperation options, which now appear more attractive – notably with the GCC. A further option is fuel take-back,
returning it to suppliers. Used fuel will be stored in reactor ponds for up to 20 years, or may be transferred to dry storage after six years. Reprocessing in France or elsewhere internationally is an option, depending on economics. Ownership and responsibility for the used fuel will be transferred to a new state-owned entity after about 20 years.
Sweden’s SKB is studying the prospects of a geological waste repository in UAE, and the Arab Atomic Energy Agency (AAEA), with a widened group of participating Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries, is discussing regional options along the lines of EU precedents.
Organisation, regulation
In August 2009 the UAE advised the IAEA that it was ready to join the IAEA Convention on Nuclear Safety, and the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.
In October 2009 the Federal Law Regarding the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy was signed into effect, providing for development of a system for licensing and control of nuclear material, as well as establishing the independent Federal Authority of Nuclear Regulation (FANR) to oversee the whole UAE's nuclear energy sector, and appointing the regulator's board, headed by a senior US regulator.
The law also makes it illegal to develop, construct or operate uranium enrichment or spent fuel processing facilities within the country's borders.
Non-proliferation
The UAE is a signatory of the NPT and it ratified a safeguards agreement with IAEA in 2003. In 2009 it signed the Additional Protocol.
