15 What is iaea (International Atomic Energy Agency)?
(IAEA) is an international intergovernmental organization; was founded in 1955. Currently, more than 120 states are members of the IAEA. Kazakhstan became a member of the IAEA in February 1994. The IAEA assists Kazakhstan in resolving pressing issues of using nuclear energy.
Funded research aimed at the use of nuclear energy and radiation technology for products of peaceful use.
There are 2 directions: RCP (research coordination project) - is aimed at the implementation and implementation of scientific results and technologies in the field of radiation technology and nuclear energy. TC - technical support projects. RCP can flow into the TS. One project per country. (from 2 to 3 years old). Grant can be given for trips to conferences, internships for young scientists.
The IAEA is authorized: to encourage and support the study, development and practical use of atomic energy throughout the world for civilian purposes; Intermediate in the exchange of services and materials between their members at their request; to ensure the use of materials, services and equipment for the development of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes; encourage the exchange of scientific and technical information in the peaceful use of nuclear energy; take security measures to prevent the use of nuclear materials for military purposes; together with the bodies and institutions of the UN system responsible for these issues, to define and establish norms in the field of safety and health protection.
The activities of the IAEA are determined by the Charter, in accordance with which it is entrusted with the fulfillment of three main functions:
I. Providing the necessary assistance to Member States and developing scientific and technical cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy, including nuclear energy, health, environmental protection, agriculture, science and education.
II. Assistance in ensuring the proper level of nuclear and radiation safety, incl. the creation of international mechanisms for rapid notification and response in the event of nuclear incidents, assistance in resolving the problem of the safe management of spent nuclear fuel and waste, and counteracting nuclear and radiological terrorism.
III. Control over the use of nuclear energy exclusively for peaceful purposes and nuclear materials did not switch to military objectives, which is implemented through the application of the safeguards system established by the Agency to nuclear activities.
