Saudi Arabia admitted, on Wednesday, that it had turned Yemen into a dumping ground for toxic waste.
Saudi Council of Ministers announced the mandate of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority to negotiate with the government of Maeen to sign an agreement in the field of nuclear safety and radiation protection.
The agreement is expected to be signed between the National Atomic Energy Committee of Yemen and the Saudi Nuclear Authority.
Saudi government did not disclose the content and objectives of the agreement, although Yemen is not a nuclear state. However, sources in the Yemeni National Atomic Energy Committee hinted that the agreement was part of a project to contain nuclear radiation resulting from toxic waste that was buried in desert and marine areas in Yemen, indicating that These radiations were recently monitored in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, where the sea threw thousands of tons of fish to the coast.
Saudi approach reflects fears of the impact of this waste on Saudi Arabia, which has long land and sea borders with Yemen.
