Canada has made significant progress in enhancing its emergency preparedness and response framework for nuclear and radiological emergencies, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). An IAEA team conducted a follow-up mission to assess the progress made by Canada in implementing recommendations from a previous mission in 2019. The team identified strengths in Canada's emergency preparedness system and recommended improvements in areas such as protection strategy, monitoring capabilities, and termination of a nuclear emergency. Canada developed a national action plan to address the recommendations, and the follow-up review acknowledged the country's commitment and progress in strengthening its emergency preparedness. The IAEA team encouraged Canada to continue its efforts to further enhance emergency preparedness and response.
