organisation profile
- The IAEA Marine Environment Laboratory (IAEA-MEL) in Monaco was established in 1961 as part of the IAEA's Department of Research and Isotopes and is the only marine laboratory within the UN system. Its unique nature means that, besides carrying out an IAEA-focused core programme, IAEA-MEL is designed to respond to regular requests for technical assistance from other UN agencies and programmes, e.g. UNEP, IOC (UNESCO), FAO, WHO and WMO. Nevertheless, the promotion of nuclear and isotopic techniques and the improved understanding of marine radioactivity continue to be central to the Laboratory's work carried out in the framework of the IAEA's Programme H - Protection of The Marine a nd Terrestrial Environment, protection is the fundamental objective of IAEA-MEL's modus operandi and its international function results in its involvement at the forefront of major world issues across a broad environmental spectrum.
