25 Years of the Joint Convention: A Milestone for Global Nuclear Safety

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management. This important international agreement has helped shape how countries protect people and the environment from the potential hazards of radioactive waste and spent fuel. Participation has steadily increased, with 93 Contracting Parties now part of the Convention. This reflects a shared understanding that safe management of radioactive waste and spent fuel is a global responsibility and that cooperation strengthens safety worldwide. For 25 years, the Joint Convention has helped countries address complex technical challenges through cooperation, transparency, and continuous learning. Its role remains as important countries continue to use nuclear technologies to support sustainable development.
