The Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission (NRRC) is the entity responsible for regulating the activities, practices, and facilities engaged in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Its main mission is to protect humans and the environment against any actual or potential radiation exposure, including exposure to natural radiation, in addition to implementing the Kingdom's obligations under relevant agreements and conventions.

Establishment of the Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission

The commission was founded on March 13, 2018, upon the approval of the Council of Ministers. The use of radiation technology in the Kingdom dates back to the early 1960s when radiation technology was mainly used in oil and gas exploration activities, which were previously supervised by the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources. Over the past two decades, the use of radiation applications has developed in various fields, including medical and industrial applications, energy, and other sectors.
