Not being well versed on all of IAEA's activities, I was mainly interested in knowing if any agency automatically takes charge of ring-fencing an incident like this to plan a monitoring profile, install additional monitors as needed, and compile the data. I know there are nuclear monitors around the globe, but not sure of who is in charge of those. I do know as a comparison, for example, the global system of earthquake monitors are quite well coordinated.
Even when international inspectors are not allowed within the borders where an incident occurs, it seems in the public interest to track particle levels in areas outside the borders - particularly downwind and down-stream.
It would be interesting to read a summary of the on-site data the Chinese scientists collected - but we'll probably never see it.
