🌍 #OnThisDay | A milestone for global nuclear safety In 2001, the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management entered into force—becoming the first global legal instrument dedicated to the safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste. ⚛️♻️. 📅 On 20 March 2001, #Ireland 🇮🇪became the 25th State to ratify the Convention—triggering its entry into force 90 days later, on 18 June 2001. Thanks to these first 25 Contracting Parties: 🇳🇴 🇨🇦 🇭🇺 🇸🇰 🇩🇪 🇸🇮 🇨🇿 🇭🇷 🇪🇸 🇲🇦 🇸🇪 🇩🇰 🇧🇪 🇫🇮 🇱🇻 🇨🇭 🇳🇱 🇫🇷 🇵🇱 🇧🇬 🇬🇷 🇺🇦 🇦🇷 🇬🇧, the Joint Convention established a global safety framework that promotes: 🛡️High levels of safety and protection against radiological hazards 🌐Strong international safety standards 🤝Transparency, peer review and international cooperation Today, the Convention has 93 Contracting Parties, reflecting a growing global commitment to the safe and responsible management of radioactive waste and spent fuel. #OnThisDay #JointConvention #NuclearSafety #RadioactiveWaste #SpentFuel #InternationalCooperation #JointConvention #NuclearSafety #RadioactiveWaste #SpentFuel #IAEA #DidYouKnow (Photo: IAEA/Pavlicek, Petr)

🚨 The IAEA’s Incident and Emergency Centre (IEC) regularly conducts Full Response Exercises (FREX) to test and strengthen its readiness to respond to nuclear or radiological emergencies. 📅 On 10 March, @IAEAorg activated its IEC with two full shifts 🔄 of around 30 responders 👥 from across the Agency. The exercise focused on the team’s ability to assess and respond to an evolving scenario under conditions of uncertainty — including the challenge of identifying and addressing misinformation. “Regular exercises like FREX are key to maintaining the IAEA's readiness to timely and effectively respond to nuclear or radiological emergencies,” said Amgad Shokr, Director of the IAEA’s Incident and Emergency Centre.

#Poland 🇵🇱 was the first #EU Member State to host an Integrated Review Service for Radioactive Waste and Spent Fuel Management, Decommissioning and Remediation #ARTEMIS review in 2017. In 2026 it became the first 🥇 to complete a second‑cycle of this mission — marking another important milestone! The 10 day mission from 8 to 17 March demonstrated the country’s sustained commitment to safety, transparency and continuous improvement in radioactive waste management, grounded in the @IAEAorg Safety Standards. The #ARTEMIS process reflects strong trust in independent international assessment and in the Agency’s role in supporting Member States. Read more here: atoms.iaea.org/3Ns2PeU

5️⃣days to go! Every year, around 20 million shipments of nuclear and other radioactive material support peaceful uses in energy, medicine, education, agriculture and industry. 🚚🛡️ At the @‌iaeaorg International Conference on #SafeSecureTransport, experts will come together to discuss current and emerging challenges and strengthen dialogue across the transport community🤝🌍.

🎉 Since 2023, the @‌iaeaorg Nuclear Security Training and Demonstration Centre #NSTDC has hosted hundreds of hands-on training courses in the areas of physical protection of materials and facilities, detection of and response to nuclear security events, as well as computer security. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, it helps countries strengthen their #NuclearSecurity skills and expertise. 👉 More information: atoms.iaea.org/NSTDC

.@IAEAorg hosted an EAGLES-300 Multinational Pre-Licensing Project workshop last week in #Vienna to discuss the design options and fuel qualification strategy of the EAGLES-300 lead fast reactor #SMR design. Discussions also included the regulatory reviews of the first deliverables received on safety approaches and application of defence in depth carried out by regulators of Belgium 🇧🇪 @FANC_AFCN and #Romania 🇷🇴@CNCAN_Office, with the observation of the #Italian regulator 🇮🇹 @ISIN_Nucleare. This project supports a multinational joint review of the lead-cooled fast reactor technologies featured in the EAGLES-300 technology roadmap. Implemented under the Nuclear Harmonization and Standardization Initiative #NHSI through the IAEA, the initiative aims to support potential future licensing phases in the participating countries.
