Requested by IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi, the mission evaluated the agency's dedication to enhancing its regulatory system concerning radiation safety, waste safety, and emergency preparedness, among others. The review team, comprising senior experts from various countries, concluded that the IAEA's program is well-established and aligns with international safety standards. They provided specific recommendations for further improvements, which will be detailed in a final report expected in the coming months. This mission underscores the IAEA's commitment to safety standards and serves as a model for regulatory bodies worldwide.
