Saudi Arabia is working to enhance its counter-contamination and radiological preparedness framework.
This framework is specifically designed to mitigate the potential fallout from a non-weaponized but radiologically hazardous incident resulting from kinetic attacks on nuclear infrastructure.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman (MBS) is said to have approved an open budget to address radiological and nuclear threats including the procurement of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) equipment.
The note provides an overview of the following aspects:
- The CBRN equipment Saudi Arabia is looking to procure
- The countries Saudi Arabia is eyeing for cooperation
- The Saudi officials responsible for this project
