In order to meet its second responsibility — to provide for the application of its standards — the IAEA carries out a number of safety-related activities. These include fostering information exchange, encouraging research and development, providing technical assistance to developing Member States, promoting education and training and rendering a number of safety ser­vices, such as radiological assessments of contaminated environments, the evaluation of accidents, and radiation protection appraisals carried out by international peers. In addition, any Member State may request the assis­tance of the IAEA in setting up a project involving nuclear technology and, before approving the project, the IAEA’s Board of Governors is required to give due consideration to ‘the adequacy of proposed health and safety standards. . .’. The IAEA is also responsible for international nuclear safe­guards and — with respect to any IAEA project, or other arrangement where the IAEA is requested by the parties concerned to apply safeguards — has the right and responsibility ‘to require the observance of any health and safety measure prescribed by the IAEA’ and ‘to send into the territory of the recipient State or States inspectors. . . to determine whether there is compliance with [such] health and safety measures.’
