The VICWG's main objectives are:
Thus, the VICWG interacts with several Standards Development Organisations (ISO, AFCEN, etc.) and the World Nuclear Association's (WNA) working group on Co-operation in Reactor Design Evaluation and Licensing (CORDEL).
The VICWG reports its status to the MDEP Steering Technical Committee (STC) at the latter's thrice annual meetings.
