Under Article (4) of Federal Law by Decree No. 6 of 2009, Concerning the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy (the Nuclear Law), FANR was established as a public organisation with an independent legal personality, full legal competence and financial and administrative independence in all its matters.
FANR is managed by a Board chaired by H.E Dr Ahmed Mubarak Al Mazrouei. The Director General, Dr. William Travers, oversees the work of the Authority under the Board’s control.
Why do I need a Licence from the Authority before I can use ionizing radiation?
Under Article (23) of the Nuclear Law, a licence from the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation is required to carry out practices involving ionizing radiation. This applies to all legal entities, whether private or public, and includes entities operating in free zones.
I have been licensed by a competent authority under Federal Law No 1 of 2002. Do I also need a licence from FANR?
The Nuclear Law has repealed the previous Federal Law No. 1 of 2002 regarding the Regulation and Control of the Use of Radiation Sources and Protection Against their Hazards. The new Law gives Licensees 12 months from September 2009 to adjust their status and be licensed by FANR.

What sources of ionizing radiation does FANR License?
FANR licenses all radioactive sources including radiography, well logging and nuclear medicine practices. It also licenses generators of ionizing radiation such as all X ray machines, including medical and dental X rays and security scanners.
Are there any exemptions from licensing?

Under Article (26) of the Nuclear Law, the Board of FANR may, within the limits of international commitments and agreements, exempt certain facilities and activities from the requirement for licensing, provided that such facilities and activities do not represent a substantial threat to safety.
