DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Deepak Raj Shah Shah (Tribhuvan University\, Nepal)\
 n\nNepal is a peace loving country and signed Nuclear Non-Proliferation Tr
 eaty (NPT) in 1970. Nepal became a Signatory of Comprehensive Test Ban Tre
 aty (CTBT) in 1996 with the commitment of using nuclear energy in improvin
 g human health\, world peace and prosperity and security - not for militar
 y purposes. The Nepalese Government has recently passed a law on Radioacti
 ve Material (usage and regulation) Act 2020. It has now opened the door fo
 r the peaceful use of nuclear applications for the benefit of the country 
 under guidelines of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as being a M
 ember State of the IAEA. Next\, Nepal is surrounded by several nuclear ins
 tallations of neighboring countries and is always at the risk of nuclear t
 hreats that may occur in its neighborhood. In this context\, Nepal can ben
 efit from IMS Laboratories under CTBTO's network especially in monitoring 
 seismic activities and radionuclide monitoring. In this run\, after being 
 motivated through participation in the conferences of National Youth Counc
 il (NYC) under the Ministry of Youth and Sports\, Government of Nepal. It 
 is the right time for the government to engage youths in the activities of
  the CTBT. It is necessary to link NYC with the CTBT to carry out CTBTO's 
 mission.\n\nhttps://conferences.ctbto.org/event/7/contributions/1357/
