The IAEA database on radioactive waste and spent fuel called Spent Fuel and Radioactive Waste Information System (SRIS) contains information on spent fuel and radioactive waste management programmes, inventories, as well as the applicable laws and regulations, waste management policies, and plans and activities. Developed in close cooperation with the European Commission and the OECD/NEA, SRIS facilitates information sharing and simplifies national reporting in a single easy-to-use platform. To complement the usability of SRIS, the Spent Fuel and Radioactive Waste Inventory Tool (SWIFT) mirrors essential functionalities while accommodating the unique needs of Member States in national-level data collection. Its seamless connection to SRIS enables smooth data transfer between the two platforms.

The technical meeting on the Spent Fuel and Radioactive Waste Information Tool and the Spent Fuel and Radioactive Waste Information System aims to provide continuous technical support to users of SWIFT and SRIS, from installation, collection and processing of raw data, populating dataset, migration of dataset, to generating reports. The meeting will also serve as a platform to gather user feedback to enhance the overall users’ experience. Additionally, participants will gain insights into the linkages between SWIFT, SRIS, and other IAEA databases, fostering a more integrated approach to radioactive waste and spent fuel management. Through interactive discussions and practical demonstrations, this workshop will strengthen Member States' capacity to manage their national inventories while aligning with international best practices.

The purpose of the technical meeting is to enhance the use of the upgraded Spent Fuel and Radioactive Waste Information System (SRIS) and the Spent Fuel and Radioactive Waste Inventory Tool (SWIFT) among Member States and to foster exchange of experience from experienced users. Additionally, the meeting aims to demonstrate the functionalities, utility and benefits of the systems for data collection and reporting.

In order to be designated by an IAEA Member State or invited organization, participants are requested to submit their application via the InTouch+ platform by 13 February 2026. Please visit the Event information sheet to know more about the event.
