Nuclear technologies benefit people everywhere. Radioactive sources are used to sterilize food and medical instruments, to develop improved crops and to diagnose and treat patients. Thirty-two countries use nuclear power for energy production. Research reactors are used in science and for producing radioisotopes for medical use. These various uses of nuclear technologies generate waste like many other processes. To ensure that it poses no risk to people or the environment now and in the future all countries using nuclear technologies have the responsibility to manage radioactive waste safely and securely.
For 10 years, the IAEA’s ARTEMIS peer review service has given countries expert advice on managing radioactive waste and spent fuel, decommissioning and remediation programmes.
ARTEMIS reviews provide independent expert opinion and advice drawn from an international team of specialists convened by the IAEA. Reviews are based on the IAEA safety standards, technical guidance and international good practices.
The scope of ARTEMIS reviews varies with an emphasis on technology, safety or both.
This service supports facility operators and organizations responsible for decommissioning and radioactive waste management, as well as for regulators, national policy makers and others.
