Q. Recently, where was the International Conference on Nuclear Security (ICONS-2024) held?
Answer: Vienna, Austria
Notes: The IAEA's International Conference on Nuclear Security (ICONS) 2024, held in Vienna, highlighted nuclear waste concerns. Currently, 145 states report incidents of lost, stolen, or mishandled nuclear materials to the IAEA. Radioactive substances are widely used in medical, educational, and industrial sectors. The main concern is extremists using these materials in a "dirty bomb," which, though less deadly than an atomic bomb, could cause mass panic in urban areas.
