Supporting Safety in the Caribbean: IAEA Helps Member States Establish Regulatory Infrastructures

Supporting Safety in the Caribbean: IAEA Helps Member States Establish Regulatory Infrastructures

Group photo of Coordination Meeting participants (Photo: A. Andrew/Antigua and Barbuda Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Immigration)
The IAEA’s safety standards provide requirements and recommendations for ensuring nuclear safety, and act as a global reference for protecting people and the environment. Through an ongoing regional technical cooperation project[1], the IAEA is supporting Caribbean Member States in establishing, within a legal and governmental framework, sustainable national safety infrastructure for the control of radiation sources. From 6 to 10 November 2017, the Antigua and Barbuda Bureau of Standards (ABBS) hosted the project’s midterm Coordination Meeting in St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda.
Participants from Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, the Bahamas, Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago met to discuss common experiences and challenges, and to report on project achievements to date. The Jamaican representative detailed the country’s development of a legislative framework on nuclear sciences and technologies, and the establishment of a new regulatory body, the Hazardous Substances Regulatory Authority (HSRA). The Trinidadian representative reported on approval processes for its draft ionizing radiation bill and other regulations developed with IAEA assistance.
Caribbean countries and islands are incorporating more and more sources of radiation, particularly in the health sector. As these technologies are becoming increasingly complex over time, the region is cooperating with the IAEA and PAHO to develop a good regulatory framework to ensure that everyone is protected from radiation.
Dr Pablo Jimenez, Regional Advisor - Radiological Health, PAHO
The importance of drafting sound legislation to support regulatory infrastructure was stressed in the presentations. Ms Dianne Lalla-Rodriquez (Director, ABBS) emphasized, “One of the basic tenets of any regulatory infrastructure is legislation. We are well underway to having at least the first draft of our legislation completed, and the IAEA has agreed to assist us in its review so we can bring it into operation.”
Experts from the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the IAEA delivered presentations at the coordination meeting related to radiation safety and regulatory infrastructure, and helped the Member States determine future actions to be implemented within the scope of the regional project. The increased use of radiation medicine throughout the region was identified as a field for closer regional cooperation. As Dr Pablo Jimenez (Regional Advisor - Radiological Health, PAHO) stated, “Caribbean countries and islands are incorporating more and more sources of radiation, particularly in the health sector. As these technologies are becoming increasingly complex over time, the region is cooperating with the IAEA and PAHO to develop a good regulatory framework to ensure that everyone is protected from radiation.”
[1] RLA9082, ‘Establishing and Strengthening Sustainable National Regulatory Infrastructures for the Control of Radiation Sources’. Components of this project are funded through the IAEA’s Technical Cooperation Fund, and through extrabudgetary contributions from the United States of America.

Saving Power in Danger: Michael Shellenberger Keynote Address to IAEA — Environmental Progress

Saving Power in Danger: Michael Shellenberger Keynote Address to IAEA — Environmental Progress: Nuclear power is the only energy source that can lift all humans out of
poverty while protecting the natural environment. Why, then, is it in
danger of going away? 

In my keynote address yesterday to the IAEA’s quadrennial ministerial
meeting in the United Arab Emirates, I trace the anti-nuclear movement’s
roots to a famous essay by the German philosopher (and, yes, Nazi) Martin
Heidegger.

Intermittent renewable energies like wind, Heidegger and his anti-humanist,
anti-nuclear followers argued, were the key to restraining human ambition.

Should we thus be surprised that the big increases in solar and wind over
the last decade still weren’t enough to make up for even the decline of
nuclear over the last decade?

Sting said it best last year: “If we’re going to tackle global warming,
nuclear is the only way you can create massive amounts of power.”

Nuclear power’s important for something else, I argue: averting
thermonuclear war between the US and North Korea.  

Atomic humanists must take a page from South Korea — whose “citizen jury”
decided to continue that country’s nuclear expansion — and seek our saving
power precisely where the danger lies.
