Digital technologies support operations and automation at facilities handling nuclear material or other radioactive material, potentially leading to increased operational efficiency, reduced labour costs, and better safety and security. However, digital innovations may also pose threats and risks, underscoring the need for robust computer security within a nuclear security regime. What does information and computer security look like in the nuclear world? What are the latest trends within the computer security community? How often do cyberattacks occur? In this episode, the experts answer these questions and more. Guests: Robert Lee, Founder and CEO of Dragos Paul Shanes, Professional Lead for Cyber Security at the United Kingdom’s Office for Nuclear Regulation Elena Buglova, Director of the Nuclear Security Division at the IAEA

Food safety is a critical aspect of public health and global food security. Since consumers cannot always see, taste or smell the threat of contaminated food, food safety laboratories backed by nuclear science serve as a line of defence to detect and prevent food hazards. And when it comes to the spices, seeds, fruits and vegetables that travel from distant origins to your local grocer, a small dose of radiation helps make it possible for food products to stay safe and fresh without spreading sickness or invasive pests.  Guests: Carl Blackburn, Food Irradiation Specialist, Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture Shima Shayanfar, Food Scientist, based in the United States of America Sandy Mookantsa, Principle Scientific Officer, Botswana National Veterinary Laboratory In this episode, our experts will discuss the importance of food safety, the development of global standards and the role of nuclear techniques. They discuss food irradiati
