Established | 1978 |
The International Commission on Atomic Energy (ICAE) is an international organisation that seeks to regulate the safe usage of atomic energy for peaceful purposes. The ICAE lists the following as it's mission statement:
- Peace: Encourage the utilisation of nuclear technologies for applications in clean energy generation and medicine.
- Cooperation: Facilitate cooperation between nations to ensure the safety and efficiency of nuclear technology.
- Safety: Coordination of international nuclear accident response, ensuring maintenance of international safety standards.
- Education: Educating the public about the advantages and safety of peaceful atomic energy.
The ICAE plays a vital role in coordinating international responses to nuclear accidents, along with establishing guidelines for the safe handling of nuclear material, and the operation of nuclear reactors.
History
Anti-Proliferation Activities
Although the ICAE officially exists to encourage the use of atomic energy for peaceful uses while explicitly condemning the development of nuclear armaments, the ICAE cannot enforce any prohibition against nuclear weapons. Instead, the ICAE takes a harm-reduction approach to its' anti-proliferation activities.
