Russia to Showcase Nuclear Emergency Response Tech in Global Simulation

At a major IAEA exercise involving over 70 countries, Russian experts will present the latest tools for managing nuclear crises.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is conducting a global drill involving more than 70 countries to test readiness in the event of a severe nuclear power plant accident. These exercises, held every three to five years since 2001, simulate high-stakes emergencies and evaluate international response protocols.

Russia, a longstanding leader in the nuclear sector, plays an active role in these drills. Russian teams present cutting-edge solutions, including digital technologies, designed to assist the host nation in crisis scenarios and to assess the development and impact of emergencies. In the event of an actual disaster, Russia positions itself as a first responder in mitigating the consequences.

For decades, Russia has been a signatory to both the Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident and the Convention on Assistance in the Case of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency. The state corporation Rosatom serves as the official liaison for fulfilling Russia’s obligations under these agreements.
