Deadline for submission of abstracts for presentation at IAEA International Conference on Safe and Secure Transport of Nuclear and Radioactive Material extended until September 30, 2025.
The IAEA estimates that 20 million shipments of radioactive material are transported each year. These materials are transported by road, rail, sea, air and inland waterway within countries and abroad for applications in areas such as medicine and human health, agriculture, nuclear energy and advanced scientific research.
The conference, to be held in Vienna, Austria, from 23 to 27 March 2026, will address issues such as the legislative and regulatory framework for the transport of nuclear and other radioactive material, the incorporation of nuclear safety and security requirements into design, and the maintenance of nuclear safety and security during transport operations. The conference will continue the work started at previous events in 2011 and 2021.
“For decades, the IAEA safety standards have served as the foundation for the safe transport of radioactive material. With rapid advances in nuclear and transport technologies, the global situation is changing rapidly. This conference aims to promote innovation, exchange of experience and strengthening of international standards,” said Shazia Fayyaz, Scientific Secretary of the conference and Head of the Transport Safety Group in the IAEA’s Division of Radiation, Transport and Waste Safety.
“During transport, nuclear and radioactive material may be exposed to a range of risks and threats specific to the mode of transport,” says Robert Officer, also the Scientific Secretary of the conference and Head of the Transport Security Group in the IAEA’s Division of Nuclear Security. “The conference will further raise awareness by sharing experiences in strengthening nuclear security and safety capabilities, including on topics such as legal and policy frameworks, as well as technological and commercial trends in protection at all stages of transport.”
