International Atomic Energy Agency

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is an international organization that promotes the peaceful use of nuclear energy and prevents its military use. Established in 1957, the IAEA works with countries to ensure nuclear safety, security, and non-proliferation—meaning it seeks to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. The agency conducts inspections and provides guidance on nuclear technology for energy, medicine, and industry. It plays a key role in fostering cooperation among nations and ensuring that nuclear materials are used responsibly to benefit humanity while minimizing risks to health and security.
