International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)

The IAEA establishes international nuclear safety standards through its Safety Standards Series. While the report series uses the NRC as primary reference, IAEA standards provide complementary international perspectives.

Key Standards Relevant to Nuclear AI

• SF-1: Establishes defense-in-depth as core principle — directly relevant to the model-heterogeneity argument
• GSR Part 4: Safety assessment framework needing extension for AI-assisted operations (see psa-integration)
• SSG-51: International HFE guidance complementing nureg-0711
• NSS-17-T: Nuclear cybersecurity guidance needing extension for AI-specific threats

The gaps identified under the NRC framework apply equally to the IAEA framework.
