Incident and Emergency Centre
IAEA Response to Maritime Accidents
IAEA
Incident and Emergency Centre (IEC) Mission
Global focal point
for emergency preparedness and response
for nuclear and radiological safety or security
related emergencies, threats or events of
media interest
and
world’s centre for coordination of international
emergency preparedness and response
assistance
IAEA
Basis for IEC Activities
• IAEA Statute
• Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident
• Convention on Assistance in the Case of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency
• Decisions of IAEA policy making organs
IAEA
IAEA Roles and Responsibilities
1. Notification and official information exchange
• Through officially designated Contact Points
2. Assessment of potential emergency
consequences and prognosis of possible
emergency progression
3. Provision of public information
• Timely, clear, correct
and easily
understandable
IAEA
IAEA Roles and Responsibilities
4. Provision of assistance on request
• Provide/facilitate and coordinate
5. Coordination of inter-agency response
• Achieve synergy, speak with ‘one voice’
IAEA
IEComm
• Operations Manual for
Incident and Emergency
Communication
• To facilitate practical
implementation of the
conventions
• Non-binding document
• BoG and GC noted
IAEA
IEComm and Emergency Contact Points
• IEComm describes how States should communicate with the IEC and relevant actions
• Member States define Official Contact Points:
• National Competent Authority Domestic [NCA(D)]• For domestic emergencies
• National Competent Authority Abroad [NCA(A)]• For emergencies abroad
• National Warning Point [NWP]• 24/7 contact point
• Permanent Mission to the IAEA

IAEA
Early Notification Convention
Scope of Application
• Any accident involving from which a release
of radioactive material occurs or is likely to
occur and which has resulted or may result
in an international transboundary release
that could be of radiological safety
significance for another State.
IAEA
Early Notification Convention
Scope of Application
• Applies to:• any nuclear reactor wherever located;
• any nuclear fuel cycle facility;
• any radioactive waste management facility;
• the transport and storage of nuclear fuels or radioactive wastes;
• the manufacture, use, storage, disposal and transport of radioisotopes for agricultural, industrial, medical and related scientific and research purposes; and
• the use of radioisotopes for power generation in space objects.
IAEA
Response Obligations
• Forthwith notify transboundary emergency
• Promptly provide additional information
• Time, location and nature of event
• Facility or activity involved
• Cause, foreseeable development
• Characteristics of radioactive release
• Meteorological conditions
• Monitoring data
• Protective actions
• Predicted behavior of radioactive release
IAEA
Notification of a Maritime Accident
• Notification direct from NCA(D)
• Request for Information
• Media reports
• IEC contacts relevant accident State
• Authenticates and Verifies
• Notifies relevant States and International Organizations
• Provides public information
IAEA
Activation of IEC
• Duty Emergency Response Manager may
activate the IEC:
• Basic Response Mode
• Extended hours operations in IEC plus On-Call
• Full Response Mode
• 24/7 operations in IEC
• IAEA offers its good offices in case
assistance is requested
IAEA
Full Response Mode
IAEA
IAEA Role and Responsibility in Response
• Assessment of potential emergency
consequences and prognosis of possible
emergency progression introduced in the 2011
IAEA Action Plan on Nuclear Safety
15
IAEA
Specific Tasks (1)
1. Develop a ‘reasonably’ bounding estimate of potential
accident progression and associated exposure pathways
• Based on information available, evidence, scientific knowledge
2. Evaluate relevant information to determine if public is safe
and will continue to be safe, and if not identification of
additional actions that should be considered
3. Evaluate relevant information to determine if workers and
emergency workers are safe and will continue to be safe
and, if not, to determine additional actions that should be
considered
16
IAEA
Specific Tasks (2)
4. Identify actions that should be considered to address
issues associated with international trade and interests
5. Assess protective and other response actions being
implemented, recommended or discussed
• Determine if they are doing more good than harm and, if not,
identify actions that should be considered by MS, international
organizations and Secretariat to address that situation
6. Actively alert Member States in which response actions
may need to be considered
7. On-going assessment and prognosis based on event
progression

IAEA
Request for Assistance
• Assistance Convention - Article 2, paragraph 1:
“If a State Party needs assistance in the event of a
nuclear accident or radiological emergency, whether
or not such accident or emergency originates within
its territory, jurisdiction or control, it may call for
such assistance”
IAEA
Response and Assistance Network
(RANET)
• RANET was established in 2000 • Operational tool to implement the Assistance
Convention
• Provision of international assistance upon request
• RANET is network of States • Capable and willing to provide assistance
upon request
• Appropriately trained, equipped and qualified personnel
• Respond quickly and effectively to emergencies
IAEA
Scope of RANET
• Nuclear accidents or radiological emergencies in
context of Emergency Conventions
• Other nuclear or radiological
incidents
• Radiological consequences that
exceed State’s response
capabilities
IAEA
How RANET is activated
• IEC operates 24/7 on-call system
• RFA made by CA or PM:• USIE, Fax, Telephone
• IEC assess and alerts Assistance (RANET) partners
• Develop plan• Deploy Assistance Mission
• Provide advice remotely
