The National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of Nuclear Incident Policy and Cooperation (NIPC) will feature a scenario-based policy discussion among IAEA and Member State representatives regarding a strategic response to a radiological or nuclear emergency. This format will build on the NIPC’s emergency preparedness and response (EPR) partnerships to enhance emergency operations centres (EOCs) and highlight the role of EOCs in coordinating a national and international response to radiological and nuclear emergencies, including reporting to and requesting assistance through the IAEA’s EPR mechanisms. This event will also serve as an introduction to the scenario-based policy discussion currently planned for the 2025 EPR conference. This event is organized by the United States of America.

This event will be held on Monday, 16 September 2024, from 11.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. in Conference Room M7, M Building, ground floor.
