Despite thorough efforts to prevent nuclear  and radiological emergencies, we have to live with the fact that they can happen. The IAEA has published advice in the form of safety standards and guidance - developed in cooperation with the Agency's 159 Member States - that aim to prevent accidents but also outline how to best prepare for and respond to them to reduce the harm they could cause. The Agency also holds meetings and conducts exercises and Workshops to strengthen these preparedness and response efforts.
