The panellists shared their experience based on specific national framework with NRO communicators from around the world.
Organised in collaboration with ASN
The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Working Group on Public Communication of Nuclear Regulatory Organisations (WGPC) held an international workshop with stakeholders in collaboration with the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN). The workshop was held on 9 April 2014, in Paris - Porte d'Orléans, France.
The workshop was an opportunity to bring together communication experts from nuclear regulatory organisations (NROs) and stakeholders. Its main purpose was to stimulate cooperation and improve NROs' communication by better understanding stakeholders' perceptions, needs and expectations (see details in the programme).
The workshop lasted one day and was split into two half-day sessions. The morning session was dedicated to exchanges with journalists and experts in communication, while the afternoon session was devoted to discussions with elected officials, members of local information committees and NGOs. The sessions were moderated by a journalist.
For a regional approach, the stakeholders came from European countries only.
Access to the workshop was reserved for communication experts from nuclear regulatory authorities, invited stakeholders, and ASN and NEA staff. The maximum number of attendees allowed was 75.
The panellists shared their experience based on specific national framework with NRO communicators from around the world.
The working language of the workshop was English.
The organisation of the workshop was led by Mr Emmanuel Bouchot (General Public Communication Manager, ASN, France) and was supported by Ms Yeonhee Hah (WGPC Chair, KINS, Korea), Mr Anton Treier (WGPC Vice Chair, ENSI, Switzerland), Mr András Molnár (HAEA, Hungary), Ms Reeta Rani Malhotra (AERB, India), Ms Dagmar Zemanova (UJD, Slovak Republic), Ms Malin Nääs (SSM, Sweden) and Ms Céline Faidherbe (FANC, Belgium).
The proceedings of the workshop were published by the NEA in autumn 2014 and made available on the OECD/NEA website.
The conclusions and recommendations of the workshop were submitted to the CNRA for endorsement and followed up by the WGPC.
