This week, we will again be part of #TeamBelgium at the General Conference of the IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ in Vienna #IAEAGC. As regulator, we look forward to share and exchange on #radiationprotection, #nuclearsafety & #nuclearsecurity with colleagues & experts from all over the world! 🌍

On July 1, new regulations for radioactive material security (#RAMAS) came into force. These apply to all facilities housing radioactive materials. FANC worked with various sectors to ensure tailored security measures. 1/2

This week, FANC and IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ conducted training on security of radioactive materials and the new RAMAS regulations, aligning Belgian laws with international standards. #NuclearSecurity 2/2

❤️ Happy World Heart Day! ❤️ Did you know that medical imaging is transforming #cardiology? From CT, to nuclear medicine and interventional procedures, medical imaging provides critical insights that help monitor heart health and guide interventions. Every heartbeat matters. ❤️

From today, we host the annual Radon Action campaign to raise awareness of radon risks. This year, we’re focusing on new buildings 🏡. Radon is a radioactive gas that can lead to lung cancer, but you can take steps to reduce it. Learn more: fanc.fgov.be/nl/radon #RadonAwareness

💯 EVERY known theft of nuclear or radioactive material has involved an insider with access and authority at nuclear or radiological facilities. Join #NNSA, AFCN - FANC & 30+ nations advancing insider threat mitigation to keep our world safe. 🌎 Interpol insiderthreatmitigation.org/infcirc_908

🦊🐰🦉 Zoos, refuges pour animaux et centres naturels disposent souvent de leurs propres appareils à rayons X. L'AFCN veille à ce que les employés et bénévoles du secteur soient protégés contre les risques de rayonnements ionisants dans le cadre de leur travail. ☢

🦊🐰🦉 Dierentuinen, dierenopvang- en natuurcentra hebben vaak hun eigen röntgenapparatuur. Het FANC waakt erover dat werknemers en vrijwilligers in die sector tijdens de uitvoering van hun werk worden beschermd tegen de risico's van ioniserende straling. ☢ #SamenBeschermen

This week IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ and AFCN - FANC co-organised an #IPPAS seminar in Brussels with experts from 27 different nationalities. The aim is to share experiences and offer guidance to the experts for when they will participate to future #IAEA IPPAS missions worldwide. #nuclearsecurity

Today's #ERD2024radon. In Belgium, this year's focus is on raising awareness among construction professionals. Have you tested your home for radon yet? Order your detector before the end of the year at actionradon.be / radonactie.be. #RadonAwareness

Yesterday, FANC was heard in the nuclear safety subcommittee. There, we discussed the future of nuclear power in Belgium, specifically keeping nuclear power plants open longer. Watch the full hearing here: dekamer.be/media/index.ht…

🎙🎥 "FANC is there to regulate, licence and control, but that does not cover the load. We want to increasingly take on the role of companion, to properly prepare and guide current and future operators of nuclear facilities on safety requirements." #PascaleAbsil, DG FANC.

Cet automne, CrisisCenter Belgium et AFCN - FANC ont organisé des sessions d'info sur le plan d'urgence nucléaire actualisé 🛡️ pour les zones de planification d'urgence autour des principaux sites nucléaires de notre pays. 👉 risquenucleaire.be/fr 👉 afcn.fgov.be/fr/que-devez-v…

Dit najaar organiseerde CrisisCenter Belgium i.s.m. AFCN - FANC informatiesessies over het geactualiseerde nucleaire noodplan 🛡️ voor de noodplanningszones rond de grote nucleaire sites in ons land. 👉 nucleairrisico.be/nl 👉fanc.fgov.be/nl/wat-te-doen…

Our offices will be closed from 25 December to 1 January. Happy holidays and see you soon! 🥳

🌍 Did you know the Aarhus Convention grants citizens rights to participate in environmental decision-making? Yesterday, our colleague Maryna Surkova spoke at a nuclear roundtable about how Belgium involves society in nuclear waste disposal decisions. 👥💬 #Aarhus #Transparency

Wij volgen de situatie op. Er zijn momenteel geen verhoogde stralingsniveaus gemeten op de site. #Chernobyl #UkraineRussiaWar

Nous suivons la situation. Aucune augmentation des niveaux de radioactivité n'a été mesurée sur le site. #Tchernobyl #UkraineRussiaWar
