Regulatory Bodies
ASN (National Safety Authority)
CNRP(National Centre of Radiation Protection)
CNESTEN (National Centre for Energy, Sciences and Nuclear
Techniques)
ONEE
(national Electricity & Potable Water Utility)
Main Actors of Nuclear power programme
CNEN
(national Council of Nuclear Energy)

CNEN : National Council of Nuclear Energy
Advices and assists the Government in drawing the national
policies concerning the peaceful use of Nuclear Energy.
Headed by the head of Government and composed by
representatives from various national departments.
Played a major role in the realization of Nuclear Research

The nuclear safety authority is a department of the Ministry of Energy,
Mines, Environment and Water
As regulatory body the NSA deals with the control, inspection and
authorization of nuclear installations.
The main activity of the authority in the fields of nuclear installations
was the licensing of the TRIGA research reactor.
In this regard the safety authority issued after thorough safety
assessments : the construction permit, the commissioning license and
the operating license
Nuclear Safety Authority
02/04/2013 12
The NSA played a major role in elaborating national regulations
(Laws, decrees, orders…)
Presently there is a plan to strengthen this authority by combining
the Safety Authority (ASN) and the National Centre of Radiation
Protection (CNRP) in one independent Nuclear Safety Authority
(NSA)
The new nuclear law is going through legislative process to take
into account the new constitution requirements
Nuclear Safety Authority

The CNRP is in charge of the control, the inspection and the licensing of
the use of the radioactive sources
The CNRP is a ministry of health department and operates in the areas of
medicine, industry, agriculture, research, etc...
This Center is the counterpart of the WHO (World Health Organization)
and provides training in Radiation protection in collaboration with IAEA.

National Electricity and Potable Water Utility, ONEE
ONEE, is a merger of previous national Electricity utility and Potable
water utility (2011).
The ONEE/Electrical Branch is the main operator in charge of
Production, transmission and distribution of electricity in the country.
Three Private operators contribute to electricity generation :
- Jorf Lasfar Electrical Company (operates 4 thermal units and is
building 2 additional units)
- Centrale Electrique du Detroit (operates wind park)
- Energie Electrique de Tahadart (operates a combined cycle power
plant)
the electrical grid is interconnected with Spain and Algeria (1400 MW
each) and there is plan to increase its capacity to 2100 MW.
02/04/2013 15
ONEE is planning the construction of :
- Two Coal fired power units ( 2 x 660 MW) in Safi
- Shale Oil generation unit in Tarfaya (100 MW)
- two hydro units (170 MW)
- Pumped Storage HydroElectricity unit ( 350 MW)
Under the framework of 2000 MW Wind programme (2014-2020) there is
plan to build :
- Wind park in Tarfaya (300 MW)
- Wind park in Taza (150 MW)
- 1000 MW of wind parks
Under the framework of 2000 MW programme (2014-2020) the Solar
Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy MASEN is building the first Solar
Plant of 500 MW in Ouarzazate to be commissioned by 2015.

ONEE is still considering the nuclear power option
Previous works consisted of site selection and feasibility studies and
concluded to the feasibility of the nuclear power project and the
selection and qualification of Sidi Boulbra Site.
Presently the site studies is being updated according to the new
IAEA safety standards
An IAEA Expert mission was organized in july 2011 and made
recommandations which are under implementation by the project
team.

CNESTEN’s main infrastructure is the nuclear research
center of Mamora which consists of a research reactor and
laboratories specialized in various technical and
socioeconomic fields
The Center contributes to the development of legislative and
regulatory framework.
As TSO, the center Provides support to national institutions
on emergency, radiation protection, security…
Recognized as the IAEA training center to the French
speaking African countries. Annually it organizes a Post
Graduate Educational Course in Radiological Safety.

Contribution of NGOs
There are four NGOs, which are involved in nuclear energy activities :
-AIGAM : nuclear power and member of Pre-NEPIO
- GMTR : reactor engineering
- AMR : radiation protection
- AMPM : nuclear medecine
These NGOs are playing an important role in public communication
through the organization of periodic meetings open to public and
media dealing with nuclear reactors, nuclear safety, fuel cycle, waste
management….
They participate to debates with others parties on different nuclear
issues
02/04/2013 19
in order to assess the national nuclear infrastructures, a Nuclear
Power & Desalination Committee (pre-NEPIO) has been
established
Under the supervision of the Ministry of Energy, Mines, Water and
Environment
Participants to this Committee : Departments of Electricity, Potable
Water, Environment, Phosphate company, Nuclear Research
Centre, University and NGO
