Mr César José Cardozo Román, Minister, Executive Secretary, Radiological Nuclear Regulatory Authority of Paraguay, speaks about cooperation with the IAEA's technical cooperation programme and the establishment of the Radiological Nuclear Regulatory Authority in Paraguay. This institution was created in line with the latest recommendations of the IAEA.
In February 2017, participants from the Latin America and the Caribbean region met for a week to prepare proposals for radiation safety projects for the 2018-2019 IAEA technical cooperation (TC) cycle. The proposals were based on a radiation safety assessment of each country, and on the individual national priorities defined for the upcoming TC programme cycle.
During the meeting we had the chance to interview Mr Cardozo Román and to speak to him about the impact of the IAEA’s TC programme in Paraguay.
