The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has updated its online self-assessment tool, eSARIS (Self-Assessment of Regulatory Infrastructure for Safety), which assists countries in reviewing and enhancing their nuclear and radiation safety regulatory frameworks. This updated tool features a revised and shortened questionnaire, an intuitive interface, and comprehensive guidance, making it easier for regulatory authorities to evaluate their compliance with IAEA safety standards. The improved eSARIS aims to streamline the self-assessment process, particularly in preparation for IAEA Integrated Regulatory Review Service (IRRS) missions, and is designed to help ensure safety in nuclear power programs. IAEA officials expressed confidence that the updated platform will facilitate successful IRRS missions, with specific mentions from the Egyptian Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority about its upcoming IRRS mission in 2026.
