ASEAN Nuclear Emergency Notification and Communication Exercise (AR/NeX) 2026

The Philippines recently hosted a three-day regional exercise aimed at helping Southeast Asian countries prepare for possible nuclear or radiological emergencies, reinforcing the importance of cooperation in responding to incidents that could affect more than one country.

Called the ASEAN Nuclear Emergency Notification and Communication Exercise 2026 or AR/NeX 2026, the event was held from July 6 to 8 at Hilton Newport Manila in Pasay City. It gathered government officials, emergency responders, nuclear regulators, and communication experts from ASEAN Member States and international organizations.

The activity was jointly organized by the Philippine Atomic Energy Regulatory Authority (PhilATOM), Philippine Nuclear Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PNRI), and Department of Energy.

Conducted under the Nuclear Energy Programme Inter-Agency Committee's Sub-Committee on Emergency Planning or NEPIAC-SC5 and the ASEAN Network of Regulatory Bodies on Atomic Energy (ASEANTOM), the AR/NeX 2026 was supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the European Union (EU), the Nuclear Energy Cooperation Sub-Sector Network, and ASEAN Centre for Energy.

The EU, through ENCO and the EU CBRN CoE (Center of Excellence), as well as the the IAEA provided technical support and independent evaluation throughout the exercise.

Pioneering students in disaster risk and management get to learn more about the growing role of nuclear technology in addressing and mitigating natural hazards during the last stop of HANDA Pilipinas Caravan 2.0 in the National Capital Region (NCR).

Hosted this time at the University of Makati from September 30 to October 1, 2026, the caravan featured by DOST - Philippine Nuclear Research Institute on nuclear and radiological emergency preparedness and response, and isotope techniques for detection of red tide and other harmful algal blooms.

PNRI experts also presented the basics of atomic structure and radioactivity, and more importantly, how to protect oneself from excessive radiation exposure.

The HANDA Pilipinas Caravan 2.0 is organized by the DOST-NCR as it takes on a deeper commitment towards science-based disaster preparedness across Metro Manila, designed to equip local government units and community leaders with practical knowledge and technologies, while also fostering a culture of preparedness.

The DOST - Philippine Nuclear Research Institute, in collaboration with the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), successfully conducted the 2026 National Training Course on Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring (NTC-ERM) on August 3 - 6 at the PNRI Auditorium in Quezon City.

The four-day training brought together participants from government agencies, academic institutions, private organizations, and research institutions, including PNRI personnel and members of the Philippine National Police (PNP)- Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Group, who joined the course for the first time. Held annually, the course equips participants from different sectors with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills in detecting and analyzing environmental radioactivity.

Features of the course include lectures of DOST-PNRI experts and resource persons from Japan. Yokoyama Hiroya of JAEA discussed dose assessment for internal and external exposure, while Yabuta Takaya of the Japan Chemical Analysis Center (JCAC) presented Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS) technology, updates on the release of ALPS-treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, and tritium analysis of marine environmental samples.

Their presentations provided participants with a clearer understanding of Japan’s approach to these topics. Building on these lectures and discussions, participants took part in practical sessions on ambient gamma dose rate measurement, sampling and pre-treatment of environmental samples, and gamma spectrometric analysis, gaining hands-on experience in key environmental radiation monitoring techniques.

Through NTC-ERM, DOST-PNRI continues to strengthen national capabilities in environmental radioactivity monitoring to protect both workers and the public from potential radiation hazards.

Filipino scientists from the DOST - Philippine Nuclear Research Institute and UP Diliman have identified uranium-bearing minerals and successfully tested a laboratory process that can increase the uranium content of the material.

Researchers say further exploration underground is needed to determine the extent of the uranium deposits. The findings are vital as uranium may become important in the country’s foray into nuclear energy.
