Description
In November 2015, the Safety Requirements publication Preparedness and Response for a Nuclear or Radiological Emergency, IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GSR Part 7, was published in a joint sponsorship of 13 international intergovernmental organizations.
This publication establishes the requirements for ensuring an adequate level of preparedness and response for a nuclear or radiological emergency, irrespective of its cause.
While GSR Part 7 does not cover preparedness for, and response measures specific to nuclear security events, the requirements do provide for “a coordinated and integrated approach to preparedness and response for a nuclear or radiological emergency arising from a nuclear security event that necessitates protective actions and other response actions to be taken for protection of members of the public, workers and emergency workers, helpers in an emergency and patients”. [1] This webinar is intended to share information and exchange experiences on emergency preparedness and response arrangements for nuclear security events.
