International Co-operation: Past, Present and Future
The Multinational Design Evaluation Programme (MDEP) is a unique multinational initiative leveraging the resources and knowledge of national regulators to review new nuclear reactor designs. The programme is widely recognised as an effective framework for regulatory co-operation and harmonisation.

At this important juncture, MDEP is organising its 5th MDEP conference in Antalya, Türkiye, to discuss the future of international regulatory co-operation for current and new reactor designs and technologies. The event will provide a forum for sharing the lessons learnt from the programme, for exchanging views on current challenges, and discussing MDEP's future focus by identifying the needs and expectations of the framework from regulatory bodies as well as from nuclear industry.
The two-day conference will include sessions on:
The Conference was held on Monday, 24 April and Tuesday, 25 April 2023 from 9:00 pm to 6:00 pm in Antalya, Türkiye.
