The IAEA promotes the peaceful use of nuclear energy and aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. It provides a forum for cooperation in the nuclear field, offers technical assistance and promotes the safe and secure use of nuclear technology. The agency’s fundamental mission includes ensuring that nuclear materials and technology are used exclusively for peaceful purposes and not for military applications. The IAEA also establishes safety standards and conducts inspections to verify compliance with nuclear non-proliferation agreements. It plays a crucial role in fostering international cooperation in nuclear science and technology for sustainable development.
