What role does the IAEA play in mitigating the risks of nuclear accidents?
In the event of a nuclear accident, the IAEA coordinates international response efforts and provides critical information and support to affected regions. The agency helps mitigate the toxicological impact of such events by offering expertise in radiation monitoring, contamination control, and health risk assessment. The IAEA also facilitates the exchange of information and best practices among countries for dealing with the aftermath of nuclear incidents.
