Under the aegis of the NEA, heads of OECD member country nuclear regulatory authorities met on 17-18 June 2003 with high-level government officials and executives from the nuclear industry to exchange perspectives on measuring, assessing and communicating nuclear regulatory effectiveness. The main conclusion of the forum is that regulatory performance indicators are both good and useful in improving a regulator's effectiveness and efficiency, but there are a number of areas that deserve attention. For example, incorrect analysis of these indicators could lead to inaccurate decision making, and misinterpretation can lead to misunderstandings by the stakeholders.

At their annual meetings during the week of 16 June 2003, the NEA Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities (CNRA) and the NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) reviewed their ongoing programmes of work and approved future activities. Several workshops will be organised in 2003 and 2004; for more details see the updated calendar of forthcoming workshops and seminars at www.oecd-nea.org/nsd/calendar.html.

Forthcoming workshops and seminars
The NEA Nuclear Science Committee (NSC) met on 4-6 June 2003 to review progress in its programme of work and to decide on any changes for the coming year. Discussions focused on the renewal of the mandates of the NSC's four working parties. These cover: nuclear data evaluation co-operation (WPEC); the physics of plutonium fuel and innovative fuel cycles (WPPR); criticality safety (WPNCS); and the partitioning and transmutation of nuclear waste (WPPT). The WPEC mandate was renewed for three years; the mandates of the other working parties were extended for one year to allow for further discussions and to ensure co-ordination between the different activities.
