ABACC receives diplomats from the United Nations Programme of Fellowships on Disarmament
October 8 to 11, 2024, ABACC hosted twenty-five fellows and one coordinator of the United Nations Programme of Fellowships on Disarmament. The Program includes study visits to several international organizations related to disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation.

The agenda included lectures on the ABACC model and the regional safeguards system, the technical activities carried out to implement safeguards, the visit to its technical units and the visit to Brazil’s Nuclear Industries Fuel Elements Factory in Resende.
