Preparedness and management of nuclear or radiological emergencies are crucial areas for nuclear and non-nuclear member countries. Feedback from international exercises (e.g. INEX) indicate working areas deserving improvement.
The activities focus on needs identified in the planning for early and intermediate preparedness and response, as well as the recovery phases of a nuclear or radiological emergency. The ultimate goal is to improve nuclear or radiological emergency management systems within member countries by widely sharing knowledge and experience, and by conducting exercises for various scenarios.
