Saudi Nuclear Authority Assures Public of No Radiation Threat Amid Regional Tensions

Saudi Arabia's Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission (NRRC) has confirmed that there is no radiation risk to the Kingdom or its surroundings despite heightened regional tensions resulting from the ongoing military conflict between Iran and Israel. In a statement posted on its official X (formerly Twitter) account on Thursday, the NRRC reassured the public that radiation levels across the Kingdom remain within normal limits, and that the environment is safe. The Commission emphasized that no radiation leaks have been detected, and the situation is under constant surveillance. A follow-up post published on Friday addressed concerns over the recent strike on Iran's Arak nuclear research reactor, clarifying that there have been no radiological consequences as the facility currently does not contain nuclear fuel. 'Our emergency operations centre is working around the clock to assess any possible nuclear fallout risks,' the NRRC stated, adding that preventive measures are fully in place to protect both the public and the environment. Desalinated Water Also Safe The NRRC also addressed public concerns over the safety of the Kingdom's desalinated water. It noted that Saudi Arabia's advanced desalination systems are designed to remove radioactive contaminants, in addition to salinity, ensuring the continued safety of drinking water supplies. As a precautionary measure, radiation monitoring has been intensified, though current findings do not indicate any cause for alarm. GCC-Wide Monitoring in Effect The Commission highlighted that Saudi Arabia's radiological assessment capabilities cover neighbouring Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, and affirmed that the current regional situation does not warrant the activation of the national nuclear emergency response plan. The NRRC's proactive communication and preparedness come amid heightened global attention on nuclear safety, following attacks on various nuclear-related sites in Iran. Experts have warned that while no immediate danger has materialised, continued vigilance is critical to prevent or respond to any unforeseen radiological incident.
