The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change in Qatar, through its Radiation Protection Department, has conducted specialized training for the team at the Radiation Measurement Laboratory in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The training, held recently, focused on improving the technical skills of national staff in the use of advanced technologies for analyzing samples and accurately measuring levels of radioactive materials.

This capacity-building initiative is part of Qatar’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its radiation safety and security framework. By enhancing national expertise, the program aims to improve the monitoring of radioactive substances within the country, thereby contributing to the protection of public health and the environment.

The training aligns with international standards and reflects Qatar’s commitment to upholding rigorous radiation protection measures. Participants were equipped with updated methodologies and practical knowledge necessary for precise detection and quantification of radioactivity, which is essential for early warning and response in case of radiological incidents.

Overall, the collaboration with the IAEA underlines Qatar’s dedication to advancing its nuclear and radiological safety infrastructure, ensuring compliance with global best practices, and reinforcing environmental stewardship.
