UAE nuclear agency trains customs inspectors

Abu Dhabi: The Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR) has completed a three-day workshop for 35 participants representing all UAE customs agencies and General Authority of Ports, Border and Free Zones Security.

Such workshops aim to train customs officials across the country on safe and secure handling of radioactive sources and nuclear non-proliferation.

The workshop focused on the protection of country’s ports, whether land, sea or air ports, as they are the first line of defence to protect the community and the country against any form of smuggling.
