Nuclear safety

Nuclear safety news
  • Three reports were issued in January by the Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities (CNRA). Two of them relate to the CNRA special issue meeting on Lifetime Extension and Upgrading of Nuclear Power Plants held in June 2000. The first, [NEA/CNRA/R(2001)1] gives a synthesis of the responses received from Member countries to a questionnaire on nuclear power plant life extension and upgrading sent out before the meeting, as well as the meeting's results and conclusions. The second [NEA/CNRA/R(2001)2] sets out the detailed responses from Member countries to the questionnaire. The CNRA special issue meeting on Developing and Measuring Regulatory Effectiveness held in June 1999 aimed to improve knowledge about regulatory effectiveness in relation to nuclear installations and to establish a better understanding of how regulatory effectiveness may be measured. A summary of these discussions is available in NEA/CNRA/R(2001)3.

Regular features

Radioactive waste management

The Forum on Stakeholder Confidence (FSC) met on 17-18 January 2001 at NEA headquarters. The FSC is intended to facilitate the sharing of experience in addressing the societal dimension of radioactive waste management, to explore means of ensuring an effective dialogue with the public, and to consider ways to strengthen confidence in decision-making processes. More information is available at 01-02-rwm.html


Radiation protection

The NEA convened a workshop on Better Integration of Radiation Protection in Modern Society, in Villigen, Switzerland, on 23-25 January 2001. More than 70 participants discussed the theory and context of modern radiological risk governance, including the emerging expectations of various stakeholder groups. More information is available at www.oecd-nea.org/general/press/2001/2001-01.html.
