The IAEA Division of Nuclear Security established the Women in Nuclear Security Initiative (WINSI) in March 2021, with the mission to support the achievement of gender equality in nuclear security both within the IAEA’s Division of Nuclear Security and the global community of practice. The aim is to promote and strengthen the involvement of women in nuclear security and related fields worldwide as well as to enhance the attractiveness of nuclear security jobs and careers to women, especially for the next generation.

To support this initiative, WINSI has organized and hosted the following webinars:

• The Role of the IAEA in Strengthening Capacity of Women in Nuclear Security Worldwide
• Women in Nuclear Security Initiative Webinar: Women in Information and Computer Security in the Nuclear World

This webinar on “Women in Nuclear Security Inspections” follows on from the second webinar and puts a spotlight on the important and critical area of nuclear security inspections.

The objectives of the webinar are to:

• Provide participants with a brief overview of the IAEA support in developing capacity building on nuclear security inspections;
• Identify the challenges and benefits encountered by women working in this field of nuclear security;
• Encourage women to consider a career in nuclear security inspections; and
• Promote the need for adaptability of regulatory bodies and operators in creating a more inviting environment for women to become nuclear security inspectors.
