The Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR) is the United Arab Emirates' national regulator for nuclear-related activities, handling licensing and oversight of peaceful nuclear work. Established under Federal Law by Decree No. 6 of 2009, FANR conducts programs in safety, security, radiation protection and safeguards to protect the public, workers, and the environment, and it leads licensing and inspection activities in line with international best practices. It also oversees the UAE’s obligations under international treaties in the nuclear sector and defines administrative standards to support regulatory excellence. Headquartered in Abu Dhabi and employing a few hundred staff, FANR has earned international recognition as a capable regulator and maintains close cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. In June 2026, Hamad Ali Mohammed Al Kaabi was appointed Director-General by federal decree.
