The Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident and the Convention on Assistance in the Case of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency are the prime legal instruments that establish an international framework to facilitate the exchange of information and the prompt provision of assistance in the event of a nuclear or radiological incident or emergency, with the aim of minimizing the potential consequences. The IAEA has specific functions assigned to it under these conventions. The arrangements between the IAEA, States and international organizations for facilitating the practical implementation of those articles of the two conventions that are operational in nature are documented in the Operations Manual for Incident and Emergency Communication, EPR–IEComm (2019).
This publication is an attachment to EPR–IEComm (2019). It provides general operational instructions for the International Radiation Monitoring Information System (IRMIS) and information on its concept, description and scope. IRMIS is a client–server based web application that provides Member States a tool to share and visualize large quantities of radiation monitoring data during routine and emergency situations.
