Nuclear science has benefits in medicine, energy, the environment and more. But to unlock these benefits nuclear and other radioactive material need to be protected.

“Nuclear security applies to every country, whether it does or does not have nuclear and other radioactive material,” said IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi in his opening statement at the International Conference on Nuclear Security: Sustaining and Strengthening Efforts (ICONS 2020).

“Threats to nuclear security know no borders and the IAEA is the focal point for international cooperation to ensure that we can all work together to address and respond to this global challenge.”
