The United States and Saudi Arabia are making significant strides towards a preliminary agreement on civil nuclear cooperation, with both nations working to develop a framework that aligns with their energy goals and non-proliferation standards.
The United States and Saudi Arabia are progressing towards a preliminary agreement on civil nuclear cooperation, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright confirmed during a visit to Riyadh on Sunday. Speaking to reporters after meeting with Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, Wright said both nations were on a “pathway” to a civil nuclear deal.
The agreement is expected to include a Section 123 accord, a legal framework under the US Atomic Energy Act that governs nuclear collaboration and aims to prevent nuclear proliferation. However, Riyadh has yet to agree to all the non-proliferation conditions required under the act, particularly those prohibiting uranium enrichment and reprocessing of spent fuel.
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has previously indicated the kingdom would pursue nuclear weapons if Iran developed one, raising concerns among non-proliferation advocates.
Despite these challenges, Wright stressed that the US is committed to crafting an agreement that meets the objectives of both nations. Details of the memorandum outlining the broader energy partnership are expected later this year.
The civil nuclear plans form part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 strategy to diversify its energy mix and reduce emissions, with nuclear energy seen as a key element in achieving sustainability goals.
