IAEA Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Safety Ends Friday

2011/29

A Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Safety at the IAEA headquarters in Vienna will end Friday, 24 June, with a final plenary session and a joint news conference featuring IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano and Conference President Amb. Antonio Guerreiro of Brazil.

The five-day conference has discussed issues related to improving nuclear safety around the world. Following the 11 March 2011 nuclear accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan, caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, the IAEA has led efforts to learn lessons from the accident and to strengthen nuclear safety throughout the world.

The final plenary session will begin on 24 June at 10:00 CET in Hall D on the U2 level of the Austria Centre, located at Bruno-Kreisky-Platz, A-1220 Vienna. Journalists are invited to attend the session in Hall D or may watch a live video feed in the press rooms located in Room 441 and Hall P.

The joint news conference will be held in Hall P shortly after the end of the plenary session.

For statements, documents, and more information about the conference, please see the Conference Web Site.
