On November 8, 2021, at the headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency (Vienna, Austria), the International Conference on A Decade of Progress After Fukushima-Daiichi: Building on the Lessons Learned to Further Strengthen Nuclear Safety began its work.

The first day of the conference includes plenary sessions on the topics «Contribution of International Organizations to Global Safety» and «Ensuring the Safety of Nuclear Installations», as well as a panel discussion on the topic «Ensuring the Safety of Nuclear Installations - Minimizing the Possibilities of Serious Off-Site Radioactive Releases". During his speech at the plenary session, the IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi noted that nuclear safety is the highest priority and will remain so. He stressed the particular importance of the fact that 10 years after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the professional community gathered at this conference not only to analyze what has been done over the years, but also to look into the future, taking into account all areas and aspects, affecting safety and forming the safety infrastructure. Rafael Grossi drew attention to the need for interaction and cooperation both within the nuclear community and with everyone for whom safety issues are important.
The representatives of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development/ Nuclear Energy Agency, the World Association of Nuclear Operators, the IAEA Department of Nuclear Safety, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the International Labor Organization, the World Meteorological Organization, and the World Health Organization made speeches during the first session.
The purpose of the conference is to review lessons learned, share experiences, results, and achievements resulting from actions taken by the national, regional, and international communities following the Fukushima Daiichi accident, and identify ways to further strengthening of nuclear safety.
The event will last until November 12, 2021.
Gosatomnadzor will consistently report on the conference.
