Senior Research Associate Noah Mayhew and Senior Fellow Ingrid Kirsten discussed safeguards by design and stakeholder engagement at the IAEA’s first International Conference on Small Modular Reactors and their Applications.
In the first brief of the new Sustainable Solutions series, senior VCDNP experts Ingrid Kirsten and Anthony Stott outline the benefits of ionising radiation for agriculture and economic development, highlighting key applications, and explain how the IAEA supports access to the benefits of ionising radiation around the world.
The VCDNP organised a panel during the IAEA International Symposium on Food Safety and Control to highlight the support provided by IAEA collaborating centres and the potential of machine-based radiation to improve access to the benefits of radiation for health, food safety and food security in developing countries.
The VCDNP and its partners convened African policymakers and regulators, small modular reactor developers, and international experts, including from philanthropic and financial institutions as well as the IAEA, to discuss challenges and opportunities for the deployment of small modular reactors in Africa.
VCDNP experts participated in ICONS 2024, including speaking in and moderating two technical sessions and holding one side event on high-level engagement on nuclear security.
