The IAEA fills in as an intergovernmental gathering for logical and specialized co-activity in the tranquil utilization of atomic innovation and atomic force around the world. The projects of the IAEA energize the advancement of the serene uses of thermal power, science and innovation, give global shields against abuse of atomic innovation and atomic materials, and advance atomic wellbeing (counting radiation insurance) and atomic security principles and their execution.

The IAEA and its previous Director General, Mohamed ElBaradei, were mutually granted the Nobel Peace Prize on 7 October 2005.

This office would set up a sort of "atomic bank."

The United States likewise required a worldwide logical meeting on the entirety of the tranquil parts of atomic force. By November 1954, it had become evident that the Soviet Union would dismiss any worldwide guardianship of fissile material if the United States didn't consent to a demilitarization first, however that a clearing house for atomic exchanges may be conceivable.

Blix was prevailing as Director General by Mohamed ElBaradei of Egypt, who served until November 2009.

Starting in 1986, because of the atomic reactor blast and debacle close to Chernobyl, Ukraine, the IAEA expanded its endeavors in the field of atomic safety.The same occurred after the 2011 Fukushima calamity in Fukushima, Japan.

Both the IAEA and its then Director General, ElBaradei, were granted the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005. In ElBaradei's acknowledgment discourse in Oslo, he expressed that only one percent of the cash spent on growing new weapons would be sufficient to take care of the whole world, and that, assuming we desire to get away from implosion, atomic weapons ought to have no bearing in our shared awareness, and no job in our security.
