ABU DHABI / WAM
The Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR), the nuclear regulator in the UAE, has developed the nation’s first automated import and export control system for nuclear related items.
Fully integrated with the Abu Dhabi General Administration of Customs, FANR’s NuTech Portal system has reduced approval time for the clearing of shipments from Abu Dhabi Customs by 80 percent, and achieved a customer happiness rating of 100 percent.
The new portal strengthens the control of import, export, re-export, transit and transhipment of nuclear related dual-use items regulated by FANR. The portal is the result of FANR’s continuous efforts to prevent the diversion, misuse and illicit trafficking in nuclear equipment and technology, in line with international nuclear non-proliferation regime.
Christer Viktorsson, Director-General of FANR, said, “Import and export control form a key part of our safeguards system and the NuTech Portal not only strengthens our existing control regime, but enhances its efficiency and improves its user experience.â€
