Participation Nuclear Safety Standard Committee Term 10 2024-2026

The policy advice project of the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection (BMK) provides for participation in the Nuclear Safety Standard Committee (NUSSC) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The work includes the development, evaluation and review or revision of standards relating to the safety of nuclear facilities. As Austria's representative, this specifically involves preparation, basic coordination of positions on the individual agenda items with the “Nuclear Coordination”, active participation in meetings and subsequent written reporting. The project offers the opportunity to reflect the state of the art in science and research, and possibly even beyond, in the international safety standards for nuclear facilities through appropriate work in the aforementioned committee. The prerequisite for this is the nomination of an expert by the competent national authority and acceptance of the nomination by the head of the “Nuclear Safety and Security” department of the IAEA. The nomination of Nikolaus Müllner is proposed for this project.
