Topic: Effects of Atomic Radiation
Country: Republic of Chad
The Republic of Chad is concerned about the implications that any mismanagement or accident related with nuclear energy may have upon Chad or any other fellow country and encourages the international community to take the appropriate measures in order to prevent these events from happening.
Chad is aware that in order to have a more secure world, extensive, inclusive and well-known measures and protocols must be taken and followed regarding this issue: the international community has an important role to play in preventing man or nature provoked disasters like those sadly well known of Chernobyl or Fukushima. These do not only affect countries in a short term, but affect populations’ health and countries’ economies, halting growth and general development, thus generating greater impact than expected in the long term. It is therefore our duty to work towards the prevention and containment of any further disasters that may affect the welfare of citizens worldwide.
Currently, Chad does not have installed capability to develop any atomic energy related technology. It has nevertheless contributed towards the development of measures to limit the effects of an atomic radiation related disaster. In May of 2010 it became the 100th country to agree in providing more complete information to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about its nuclear activities.
Apart from not developing nuclear energy, it has limited itself from its right to develop nuclear weapons by signing the Treaty of Pelindaba, which establishes an African Nuclear Weapon Free Zone, joining most of its African brothers. This consistently shows its willingness to help prevent any disaster of this kind in the African continent or in any other part of the world.
Chad has also strengthened its cooperation with the IAEA, through the signing of an Additional Safeguards accord in the framework of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty in 2009. It has also joined the Interbational Nuclear Information System (INIS), becoming the 125th Member State.
However, countering the effects of atomic energy radiation and further cooperation, such as the provision of technical assistance and research on this subject proves a challenge for the Republic of Chad due to its limited resources. It therefore calls on countries that develop nuclear energy to carry out the compliance of security protocols to the highest level and requests that measures and protocols to face such an emergency be shared, so that population may never be set at risk.
