The Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority, together with the United States Department of Energy, organised a workshop on the protection of programmable systems (cyber security), between 10th and 14th July, 2023 at the HAEA headquarters. The purpose of the event was to provide development opportunities for the Hungarian experts in a special, but increasingly important, field of nuclear security.
Between 19-22 June, 2023 a group of five experts arrived at the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority to receive information about HAEA's communication activities and the practice of organizing and conducting public hearings, with special regard to experiences related to radioactive waste storage facilities, as part of a training course within the framework of a European Union project. The aim of the training provided by similar EU projects is to enable the participants to use the practices, methodologies and experiences of the EU member states learned during the training in their home countries.
