“Excellency,

I have the honour to inform you that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is planning to hold a Workshop on Advanced Probabilistic Safety Assessment Approaches and Applications (hereinafter referred to as “event”) from 9 to 13 September 2019.

The purpose of the event is to provide a forum for discussion on advanced probabilistic safety assessment approaches and applications with a focus on dynamic approaches, multi-unit considerations, software reliability and passive systems reliability.

The event will be conducted in English.

Approximately 20 participants from the Member States and organizations listed in Annex A are expected to attend, as well as representative(s) from the IAEA.

Informal discussions held with Mr Zdenko Simic from the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) have indicated that suitable premises and facilities could be made available in Petten, the Netherlands.

I have the honour to enquire whether the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (hereinafter referred to as the “Government”) would wish to host this event and, if so, whether the Government would agree to make the following arrangements:

  • 1. The Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the International Atomic Energy Agency (“the Agreement”), which was accepted by the Government on 29 August 1963, shall be applicable in respect of the event. In particular, officials of the IAEA participating in, or performing functions in connection with, the event shall enjoy the privileges and immunities provided under Articles VI and IX of the Agreement. Representatives of States shall enjoy the privileges and immunities accorded under Article V of the Agreement. Participants invited by the IAEA to attend the event shall enjoy the privileges and immunities accorded to experts on mission for the IAEA provided under Article VII of the Agreement. The property, funds and assets of the IAEA associated with the event shall enjoy the privileges and immunities accorded under Article III of the Agreement.

  • 2. The Government will accord to the persons mentioned in paragraph 1 above every facility necessary for the performance of their functions in connection with the event, including entering, remaining in and leaving the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Government will issue any necessary visas as expeditiously as possible and, where the legislation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands permits, free of charge. The Government, however, reserves the right to deny, irrespective of nationality, visas to individual participants for national security reasons. Annex A contains the list of Member States and organizations to be invited to participate in the event.

    The IAEA will inform the Government promptly of all persons officially designated to attend the event. The IAEA will also advise such persons to apply for visas, if necessary, in good time before the opening date of the event, and the Government is expected to issue such visas promptly so as to allow them to attend the event.

  • 3. The Government will facilitate customs formalities for the persons mentioned in paragraph 1 above when they enter and leave the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

  • 4. The Government will, at no cost to the IAEA, make adequate and appropriate premises, personnel and facilities available for the entire duration of the event as listed in Annex B.

  • 5. The Government will exercise reasonable care to ensure security on the premises where the event takes place and to ensure the safety of the persons mentioned in paragraph 1 above while they are on those premises. The Government will take whatever steps may be reasonable in the circumstances to ensure such security and safety, including such supervision of the premises as may be warranted.

Mr Shahen Poghosyan of the Division of Nuclear Installation Safety has been appointed Scientific Secretary of the event. Ms Sanja Hadzic of the Division of Nuclear Installation Safety will be responsible for the administrative organization of the event.

Should your Government wish to host this event, I would be grateful if you would inform me in writing of your Government’s agreement to the above-enumerated points by 11 March 2019 so as to enable the Secretariat to proceed with timely arrangements.

Accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
