In May 2015, an IAEA Integrated Regulatory Review Service (IRRS) mission will take place in Hungary. International experts will review the Hungarian national regulatory infrastructure for safety and security against IAEA recommendations and international best practices. As part of the preparation for the mission, on 1-2 October 2014 a two-day meeting was held at the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority in Budapest.
The Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority - following the tradition of previous years - joined the European Heritage Days program series this year as well, and opens its doors to visitors for one day. Guided visits start on September the 20th (Saturday), 2014 at 2, 3 and 4pm. During the open day activities there will be presentations about interesting topics such as the licensing process of the new units of the Paks nuclear power plant, or terrorism targeting nuclear objectives. After the presentations, the HAEA’s Centre for Emergency Response, Training and Analysis (CERTA) can be visited in guided groups, where the activities of the Centre will be presented based on a simulated nuclear accident. The language of the programs is Hungarian.
The International Atomic Energy Agency in cooperation with the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority held a training course about the physical protection systems against sabotage from 23 to 27 June 2014 at the HAEA.
