[en] The option of electricity generation and water desalination with nuclear energy has become a strategic option for Arab countries to respond to water resources scarcity and industrial and socio-economic development. Recently many Arab countries have expressed their interest in adopting nuclear energy for electricity generation and sea water desalination. Nuclear power is expected to have a vital role to play in helping to solve these problems and will offer insurance to highly uncertain supplies and escalating costs of fossil fuels. The Arab desire to the peaceful use of nuclear energy, especially for electricity generation and water desalination, has been expressed clearly by the Arab Summit resolution (Doha 2009) which approved the Arab Strategy for Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy up to 2020. This Article overviews the development of nuclear power technologies and safety worldwide with special emphasis on the capabilities and concerns of Arab countries to introduce nuclear power in their energy mix strategies. One country in the Arab region will be soon operating a nuclear power plant, while two others are at contractual stage and few countries are actively involved in planning to build nuclear power plants.

[en] The Chinese-Arab cooperation in the field of nuclear energy launched during the second Conference of Chinese-Arab cooperation in the field of energy, which was held in Khartoum during the period of 26 to 28 January 2010, where a meeting was held between the Arab Atomic Energy Agency and the Chinese Nuclear National Committee in the framework of activating the memorandum of understanding between the League of Arab States and the Chinese National Energy Authority, which is responsible of the cooperation with the Arab countries wishing to enter the nuclear option within their strategies to diverse their sources of energy and promote their nuclear infrastructure, as well as help the Arab Atomic Energy Agency in the implementation of the Arab strategy for peaceful uses of atomic energy until the year 2020 and find a mechanism for the Arab-Chinese cooperation in the field of nuclear energy. The Arab Atomic Energy Agency also proposed programs over the coming years in the fields of energy planning, nuclear safety, selection of sites, exploring of uranium, emergency preparedness and response and management of radioactive reactors.

[en] There are eight research reactors operating at present in the Arab world. The level of their operation and utilization differs from one country to another depending on the individual situation in a particular country. Some other Arab countries are constructing or planning to build new research reactors. These RRs are mostly used in: analysis of the structure of matter, radiation damage studies to develop better materials for nuclear and industrial applications, neutron activation analysis for accurate determination of elemental concentrations in material, production of isotopes that are used in biology, medicine, agriculture, industry, hydrology and research and training of scientists, engineers and technicians needed to support the nuclear power industry. This paper describes the role of the AAEA in the promotion of peaceful utilization of atomic energy in Arab states. (author)

[en] Many Arab countries have plans to build or consider building research reactors. The human resources development is the most concerned issue for a successful Arab nuclear power program. The aim of this paper is to present the current status of the research reactors in Arab countries in terms of their utilization and safe management. As most of the research reactor facilities are not being fully utilized, the AAEA plays an important role in coordination between Arab countries in optimizing the utilization of research reactors and strengthening their safety and regulation infrastructure.

[en] The measurement of the prompt γ following neutron capture in the reaction has been extensively developed. In this method the gamma-ray intensity is depended only upon the radiative capture cross-section and not upon the half-life of the product nucleus. The prompt gamma-ray activation analysis method stems from the radiative capture process which results in the decay of the compound nucleus by the emission of characteristic gamma radiation, either as a single photon with kinetic energy equal to the excitation energy less the recoil energy or, more likely, by a cascade of two or more photons with the same energy. The equations and the computer program required to calculate the yield, the intensity and the K χ emission probability per disintegration, are given in this study.(author)
