Gulf states have right to nuclear energy: UN atomic chief
The head of the UN atomic watchdog said that the oil-rich Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has the right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful ends. The six GCC countries are Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. "It is a natural right for the GCC countries to possess nuclear energy in order to use it for peaceful purposes," said the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei. "There are some 150 countries which use nuclear energy," he told a joint news conference in Riyadh with GCC chief Abdulrahman al-Attiyah.
During their annual meeting in Riyadh last December, GCC heads of state announced their determination to develop a joint nuclear technology programme for peaceful use under international rules. Their interest in developing atomic energy comes amid a continuing standoff between the West and the GCC's neighbour ran over its programme to enrich uranium.
