IAEA Safety Standards

The IAEA Safety Standards are a set of guidelines developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency to ensure the safe and secure use of nuclear technology. They establish best practices to protect people, the environment, and promote responsible handling of nuclear materials. These standards cover everything from designing nuclear facilities, managing radioactive waste, to responding to emergencies, helping countries maintain high safety levels and prevent accidents. They serve as a global benchmark, encouraging consistent, effective safety measures across all nations using nuclear technology.
