The Mission was instrumental in providing the UAE with an objective assessment of the provisions for occupational radiation protection; identifying areas where performances should be improved to meet international standards; and providing recommendations on actions to be taken to achieve such improvements. Strengths in which the UAE is unique, as well as good practices were also identified.
