Nuclear development

The World Summit on Sustainable Development held in Johannesburg, South Africa on 26 August - 4 September 2002 targeted energy as one of the five focal points for discussion. More information on the NEA's participation in the summit is available at www.oecd-nea.org/02-09-ndd.html.


Nuclear safety

The CSNI Working Group on Risk Assessment (WGRISK) recently issued the report "The use and development of probabilistic safety assessment in NEA member countries" [NEA/CSNI/R(2002)18]. This report describes the current status of member country PSA programmes.

Regular features
