International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), based in Vienna, was established in 1956 to develop the peaceful use of atomic energy.
The IAEA is the depositary of key international conventions and legal agreements. In addition, the Agency is entrusted with responsibilities under other treaties and agreements signed by the states.
A key instrument for managing radioactive waste and spent fuel internationally is the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.
The IAEA also issues a number of non-binding standards and recommendations on basic safety standards relating to the management and transboundary movement of radioactive waste and spent fuel.
International Commission on Radiological Protection
The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) represents the first step towards international cooperation at the scientific level. It was established in 1928 as the International X-ray and Radium Protection Committee.
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development - Nuclear Energy Agency
The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) was established in 1956 within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to promote the protection of workers and the public, and the preservation of the environment, as well as the promotion of the relative safety of nuclear facilities.
NEA bases its standards and principles on the ICRP recommendations.
Its members currently include the Member States of the European Union, Norway, Switzerland, as well as Australia, Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Turkey, and the United States.
