Multiple “S”

Several meetings took place already for this new activity helping to clarify its scope and providing initial contributions as well as a roadmap for further work. The activity was introduced in the IAEA TSO Conference in December 2025. Several participants to this conference stressed that this activity is innovative, as it goes beyond the general 3S considered in the community (Safety, Security, Safeguards).
