Technical Working Groups of the Department of Nuclear Energy

Technical Working Groups (TWGs) provide advice, recommendations, and formulate programmatic guidance for the IAEA’s activities across various programmes.

The Department of Nuclear Energy has technical working groups on topics ranging from plant instrumentation to managing human resources and various reactor types, which provide a forum among interested Member States for information exchange, collaborative assessment and cooperative research.
