There has a been great deal of discussion ongoing in the United Arab Emirates to look for sustainable forms of energy. As one of the leading countries in production of greenhouse gas it has become essential for the nation to look for alternative sources of energy. Abu Dhabi is establishing its first nuclear power station in the near future so it is also important to look at the adverse effect of this energy source and try to control the potential hazard related to it. Air quality issue improvement and nuclear waste disposal are two main issues related to nuclear power station. This paper will focus on the role of nuclear power to attain the 2030 vision of Abu Dhabi and how nuclear power can also help to improve the air quality of this region.
