IAEA Briefs and Factsheets
IAEA Briefs, a new publication series, launched in 2016, aims to inform decision makers and stakeholders on specific areas of the IAEA’s work and with the detailed information provided, widen awareness in the applications of nuclear technology to address development challenges in Member States.
IAEA Factsheets offer snapshots of the IAEA’s multi-dimensional work in fields of health, industry, safety and security, safeguards and verification, and science and technology.
These online resources – to be made available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish - are listed below, by major topic and year.
