The International Atomic Energy Agency is mobilising members to address the technological and operational issues related to growing civil nuclear power in times of exponential global growth for the industry.

At the International Conference on Nuclear Security (Icons), which is taking place in Vienna from 20-24 May, it is expected the agency will adopt a ministerial declaration reiterating member states’ commitment to nuclear security.

More specifically, the conference is addressing policy, law and regulation and technology and infrastructure for nuclear security prevention, detection and response, and capacity building for nuclear security.
