  "account": "Saudi Arabia and the United States have reached an agreement on civil nuclear power cooperation, which includes Riyadh enriching uranium and building nuclear reactors using US technology, according to a July deal. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief, Rafael Grossi, revealed that while the deal does not include the Additional Protocol, which grants the agency sweeping inspection powers, some provisions are being incorporated. Grossi stated that the consultations and preparation process have allowed for additional verification and monitoring authorizations to be included, particularly in sensitive activities such as uranium enrichment, uranium conversion, and reprocessing. Once finalized, the agreement will be presented to the IAEA's Board of Governors.",
  "summary": "Following a civil nuclear power agreement between the US and Saudi Arabia, IAEA chief Grossi said Riyadh was preparing to 'give the agency additional verification and monitoring authorizations.'",
