One of the key elements of the training was the use of the IAEA's International Radiation Monitoring Information System (IRIS). Participants uploaded data collected on-site to a secure training platform and learned to visualize and analyze the results to develop skills for rapid decision-making during nuclear or radiological emergencies.
"Training in real-world conditions, where radiation levels can be measured and emergency response scenarios can be simulated, allows students to develop skills that are impossible to acquire through purely theoretical study," says Ervieu. "This approach is particularly useful for countries like Ukraine, where the ability to quickly and effectively respond to radiological incidents is crucial."
Participants from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Ukraine participated in the international workshop, demonstrating the IAEA's commitment to building capacity across various regions. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a long-standing partner in the IAEA's emergency preparedness activities, continues to support these efforts, ensuring that lessons from the Fukushima Daiichi accident are incorporated into international standards and practices.
The IAEA plans to organize additional workshops in Japan in the future, including a RANET Joint Assistance Team exercise and a workshop on public communications in nuclear emergencies, covering countering the spread of misinformation and disinformation.
"The partnership between the IAEA, Japan, and participating countries plays a vital role in strengthening global nuclear safety," says Ervieu. "Through joint training in Fukushima, we are preparing to address challenges that transcend borders."
