#EPR2025 is now live! ▶️ iaea.org/events/epr2025 Hosted with @SaudiNRRC, join the global emergency preparedness and response community in advancing practical solutions, innovative tools and resilient emergency systems to address an increasingly complex risk landscape. ℹ️ Video footage is from an IAEA emergency exercise using a simulated scenario.

During an official visit to #China, Elena Buglova, Director of the IAEA’s Division of Nuclear Security, opened the @iaeaorg's Regional Workshop on Nuclear Security Response Capability Development for Borders and Ports, and held meetings with Chinese authorities on areas of cooperation in the field of #NuclearSecurity. Nuclear security issues relating to #SMRs and future cooperation with the China Customs Radiation Detection Training Centre and State Nuclear Security Technology Centre as IAEA Collaborating Centres were discussed, alongside visits to the Nuclear Power Institute of China, the Nuclear Fusion Technology R&D Center of the Southwestern Institute of Physics, and the Shidao Bay Nuclear Power Plant.

Three years after launching @IAEAorg’s #RaysOfHope, I was proud to join African leaders in Addis Ababa 🇪🇹 to take stock and shape the path ahead. Even as the world faces many crises, Africa’s urgent cancer care needs remain and we are delivering real progress.

Timely and rich exchange with 🇫🇷 President @EmmanuelMacron at @Elysee. With a real possibility for diplomacy and dialogue on Iran, all parties must engage constructively and with resolve. Thanks for strongly supporting @IAEAorg’s work on non-proliferation worldwide.

My statement to the @IAEAorg Board of Governors at today’s emergency meeting on the situation in Iran, following U.S. attacks in the early hours of Sunday.

I just addressed the @UN Security Council #UNSC on the situation in Iran. If the window for diplomacy closes, violence and destruction could reach unthinkable levels, and the global non-proliferation regime could crumble and fall. My full statement: atoms.iaea.org/4llPiRH

.@iaeaorg Director-General calls "on maximum restraint", adding that "military escalation threatens lives and delays a diplomatic solution for the long-term assurance that #Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon. It also threatens the global non-proliferation regime."

.@rafaelmgrossi addressed @UN Security Council #UNSC on Iran's situation after last night’s U.S. attacks, stressing window for diplomacy must not close or "destruction could reach unthinkable levels and the non-proliferation regime could crumble and fall". atoms.iaea.org/4llPiRH

Following U.S. attacks and further analysis, IAEA assessed extensive damage at Esfahan, including tunnel entrances; Fordow was also directly impacted; additional strikes at Natanz. No off-site radiation increase reported: atoms.iaea.org/4ne3vBG

In light of the urgent situation in Iran, I am convening an emergency meeting of the @IAEAorg Board of Governors for tomorrow.

Following attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran - including Fordow - the IAEA can confirm that no increase in off-site radiation levels has been reported as of this time. IAEA will provide further assessments on situation in Iran as more information becomes available.

Just addressed @UN Security Council #UNSC on the situation in Iran: attacks on Iran's nuclear sites have caused a sharp degradation in nuclear safety & security. While no radiological release has affected the public, the danger remains. My full remarks: atoms.iaea.org/4llPiRH

"Armed attacks on nuclear facilities should never take place and could result in radioactive releases with great consequences within and beyond the boundaries of the state, which has been attacked. I therefore again call on maximum restraint." - @rafaelmgrossi

IAEA Director General @RafaelMGrossi yesterday addressed the @UN Security Council #UNSC on the situation in Iran. “I have indicated to the respective authorities my readiness to travel at the earliest to assess the situation” His full statement: atoms.iaea.org/4l6Prbw

Honoured to serve as Scientific Secretary for the consultancy on the revision of IAEA Safety Guide GSG-2.1. Aligned with GSR Part 7, the update strengthens EPR for complex, multi-hazard scenarios: cyber, RDDs, pandemics... Clearer guidance. Stronger systems. Readier world! 🌍

Yesterday, 🇷🇴 Romania hosted the official launch event for ConvEx-3—the IAEA’s flagship international emergency exercise, set to take place 24–25 June 2025. IEC Director Carlos Torres Vidal joined high-level speakers including Romania’s Minister of Research, Innovation and Digitalization, and senior representatives from CNCAN, Civil Protection and Nuclearelectrica. The event brought together national authorities, international partners, and media to highlight the importance of global readiness for nuclear emergencies. As @iaeaorg Director General @rafaelmgrossi said in his video address at the event: “Preparedness is about responsibility—not probability. ConvEx 3 is more than an exercise. It is a unique opportunity to validate our readiness, identify gaps and improve the way we work together in emergencies.” Convex-3 Romania: 👉tinyurl.com/4txdx52e Read more about the IAEA's EPR exercises and training 👉atoms.iaea.org/3VScwDz
