The Israel Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC) is the governmental body responsible for overseeing Israel's nuclear program. Established in 1952, its primary mission is to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy and ensure the safety and security of nuclear materials within the country. The IAEC also conducts research and development in nuclear science and technology. In addition to its focus on peaceful applications, the IAEC plays a crucial role in Israel's national security strategy. It is involved in the development of nuclear capabilities, which are believed to be a key component of Israel's defense posture in a volatile region. The commission operates under strict regulations to maintain transparency and safety standards.
