Webinar Series on the Role of Government and Key Organizations in Nuclear Power Programme Development

Some 30 IAEA Member States are considering, planning or actively working to introduce nuclear power and establish the nuclear infrastructure required for a safe, secure and sustainable nuclear power programme.This webinar series aims to improve awareness and strengthen knowledge and understanding within Member States on the roles and responsibilities of the government and key organizations in developing a new nuclear power programme.

The IAEA Milestones Approach supports countries in creating an enabling environment for a successful nuclear power programme. It identifies three key organizations to be involved; each has a specific role to play, with responsibilities evolving as programme development advances:

  • the government/nuclear energy programme implementing organization (NEPIO).
  • the regulatory body. 
  • the future owner-operator of the nuclear power plants.

 

Governing New Nuclear Programmes: Newcomer Success Stories

The experience of countries that embark on or expand the use of nuclear power as part of their energy mix provides the overall nuclear community with important lessons. Those include new approaches for coordinating the overall programme; developing competent institutions; establishing a comprehensive legal and regulatory framework; setting up policies and strategies from the early phases of the programme, and many others.

The support provided by the IAEA to such countries is also in many ways innovative. The Milestones Approach and the “Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review Service”, or INIR, were created and deployed, and a new approach of integrated and coordinated Agency support, the so-called IWP, or Integrated Workplans, was developed to match Members States expectations.

This webinar series is intended to present several success stories in terms of nuclear infrastructure development, how they benefited from the Agency support, and the approaches adopted by some of the key organizations to respond to the project needs.

Nuclear Infrastructure Publication Updates

This IAEA webinar series focuses on recently developed IAEA publications relevant to nuclear infrastructure development to raise awareness of new developments and best practices in this area taking into account lessons learnt from IAEA INIR missions and the continuous interaction with the Member States.

All IAEA publications relevant to this area can be found on the Nuclear Infrastructure Bibliography web-page.

Webinar Series on IAEA Services to Support Infrastructure Development of a New Nuclear Power Programme

Through these webinar series, the IAEA offers information, a platform for sharing Member States' experiences and the latest trends regarding nuclear infrastructure development of interest to Member States considering development of nuclear power programmes. Webinars of these series can also complement other guidance materials and tools such as publications, e-learning tools, on-line platforms, etc.
