Romania hosted ConvEx-3 (2025), the most extensive nuclear emergency simulation organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The 36-hour drill was centred around a simulated accident at Romania’s Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant and tested international coordination and readiness to respond to radiological disasters. Over 75 countries and 10 global organizations participated, making it a historic and truly global exercise. This event also marked the 20th anniversary since Romania last hosted such a simulation, reinforcing its role in promoting global nuclear safety standards and effective cross-border emergency management practices in the face of potential nuclear incidents.
