While the ongoing war in Ukraine has not thus far resulted in any major radiological threats to public health and safety, it is the first time in history that a country with significant nuclear and radiological capacities has been engaged in armed conflict. These events raise unprecedented questions about nuclear safety and security, as well as radiological protection and public health. Ultimately, we must question whether the radiological protection systems and regulatory frameworks upon which countries rely to assure safety — which are not designed to be applied in wartime — have the resilience and adaptability to be applied during armed conflict.
Building upon the existing co-operation between the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine (SNRIU) and Norwegian Nuclear Safety Authority (DSA), this NEA workshop aims to address prospective issues of radiological protection in the context of armed conflict — including potential radiological emergencies caused by war-related damage to nuclear and radiological facilities.
The workshop is open to representatives from national and local governments. These include experts, regulators, operators, and non-governmental stakeholders, as well as relevant international organisations or associations. 
Registration deadline: 30 September 2023
