Mirion & the IAEA: Advancing Global Radiation Safety
Mirion has partnered with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the world’s leading intergovernmental forum for scientific and technical cooperation in the nuclear field. Together, we are working to advance radiation detection and measurement capabilities that safeguard people and the environment around the world.
A Partnership for Global Impact
In September 2025, Mirion signed an agreement that combines its technical expertise and instrumentation with the IAEA’s reach and leadership to strengthen global radiation safety, education and environmental protection through the Terrestrial Environmental Radiochemistry (TERC) Laboratory.

Leadership Perspectives
Thomas Logan
Mirion Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
“We are proud to be the first corporation to enter a Practical Arrangement with the IAEA TERC Laboratory. Mirion is committed to using our knowledge of ionizing radiation to better the human condition. This collaboration furthers our ability to leverage our collective expertise to improve radiation safety and security around the world.”
Rafael Mariano Grossi
IAEA Director General
“This agreement between the IAEA and Mirion will enhance training, research and innovation and contribute to our mission to widen the access of peaceful nuclear technology and science, while putting safety first. It’s also a good example of effective cooperation between the Agency and the private sector.”
Our Collaboration in Action
Technology & Innovation
Providing advanced gamma spectroscopy systems and analytical tools to strengthen the TERC Lab’s measurement capabilities.
Global Collaboration
Sharing data and supporting IAEA-led proficiency tests that improve environmental monitoring standards worldwide.
Education & Talent Development

Highlights from the IAEA General Conference
Mirion was invited to join global leaders as a U.S. Industry Delegate at the 69th IAEA General Conference in Vienna. Our team engaged in discussions on critical issues such as nuclear safety, innovation, and the peaceful use of nuclear technology.
Strengthening the TERC Laboratory
As part of the IAEA’s modernization of its Curie-Meitner Nuclear Applications Centre, Mirion installed advanced radiation detection systems at the TERC Laboratory in Seibersdorf, Austria. This milestone supports the IAEA’s mission to help Member States monitor environmental radioactivity and enhance emergency readiness.
