If India attacked Pakistan’s nuclear facilities, what would the International Atomic Atom do?
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) did not exist when the atomic energy bomb was placed in Japanese cities in Hiroshima (6 August 1945) and Nagasaki (9 August 1945). It has not been used since then. Therefore, nuclear regulators have no experience in dealing with nuclear wars.

What would the IAEA do if India attacked Pakistan’s nuclear assets? How does it manage an emergency in the event of a nuclear war? Although the IAEA has clarified that there is no radiation leak because India has not attacked Pakistani nuclear arsenal in Mount Kailana, the issue remains confusing to the people. Nuclear regulators did not exist when the atomic bomb was placed on the Hiroshima city in Japan (6 August 1945) and Nagasaki (9 August 1945). It has not been used since then.
What can IAEA do in nuclear war?
Although the IAEA has no experience in dealing with nuclear war or a nuclear emergency, it has a range of guidelines. Experts believe that the IAEA has the ability to play a key role in a nuclear war or a radioactive emergency. It can coordinate international assistance, provide technical expertise, and ensure safe and secure use of nuclear materials. As outlined in the IAEA Incident and Emergency System, its facilities are the focus of information sharing, assessment and response in emergencies.
Can IAECA prevent nuclear radiation?
In the event of a nuclear emergency due to radiation leakage or the use of nuclear weapons, the IAEA can provide technical assistance to affected countries, deploy experts, provide equipment and provide advice. It can also promote and coordinate international assistance. The Nuclear Supervision Agency has a call to staff to train in a variety of expert disciplines to ensure timely and appropriate initial responses.
The IAEA can also assess potential emergency consequences and possible impacts. It can send fact-finding tasks to collect and evaluate ground information. Nuclear regulators can also provide initial advice to affected countries and advise further assistance if needed.
India-What will happen in Pakistan’s nuclear war?
If a radiation leak occurs in Kairana Hills, the biggest and direct risk will be to arrest the leak and prevent it from spreading as soon as possible. This will also cause trouble for India, as Kairana Hills is located in the Sargodha district of Pakistan’s Punjab province, not far from India. The radiation could reach India immediately, causing as much damage in India as Pakistan. The attack on the nuclear arsenal could also provide Pakistan’s trigger-happy politicians and generals with the opportunity to take similar action against India. The consequences could be disastrous for both countries.
