Five Countries Join IAEA’s Radiation Monitoring System

IRMIS data can be routine radiation monitoring data, provided on a regular basis, as is the case with all the countries registered with the system. In addition, the data can be collected on an ad-hoc basis, for example, during a nuclear or radiological emergency. Routine data is gathered by fixed instruments that always scan the environment from the same location, while event-related data can come from any radiation monitoring instrument, provided it is linked with coordinates, date and time.

In cooperation with the Unified System for Information Exchange in Incidents and Emergencies (USIE), the IAEA IRMIS provides authorities with 24/7 access to the collected data and the necessary quantitative technical information to support a comprehensive assessment and prognosis of the radiological situation.

Since its creation in 2016, the radiation monitoring information system network has expanded to 48 countries including: Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Italy, Jan, Jordan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Serbia , Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Türkiye, Ukraine, United Kingdom and United States of America.
