Scope
The Working Group on the Regulation of New Reactors (WGRNR) shall be responsible for the programme of work of the Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities (CNRA) with regard to regulatory activities in the primary programme areas of siting, licensing and oversight for all new commercial nuclear power reactors. The Working Group shall constitute an international forum for exchanging information and experience and, with the agreement of CNRA, will plan its work to ensure improvements in nuclear safety including, as appropriate, consideration of the interface between safety and security through more effective and efficient regulation.
Objectives
Interactions
The NEA has established Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with a number of organisations – e.g. COG, CRIEPI, EPRI and WANO – to promote international collaboration, particularly in the area of nuclear safety. Accordingly, representatives from these organisations can be invited, as appropriate, in the activities of CNRA working groups, consistent with the MOUs.
Deliverables
The CNRA and its working groups generally produce guidance documents for nuclear safety regulators and other stakeholders interested in commercial nuclear power. Examples include, but are not limited to, proceedings of seminars and workshops, collections of commendable practices implemented by regulatory bodies, case studies and summaries of operating experience.
