Over the past two decades, the safety case has become a powerful and essential tool to support decision making for every stage of a geological disposal programme. Now, an increasing number of nationa...
NEA analysis highlights that meeting global net zero targets necessitates a tripling of installed nuclear capacity by 2050. Concurrently, nuclear new build has become a top priority in several OEC...
NEA projections show that in order to successfully achieve net zero by 2050, nuclear energy capacity will need to at least double and potentially triple compared to today. As a result, the topic of n...
How can knowledge of high-level radioactive waste existence, nature and history be passed on to future generations? The NEA Expert Group on Awareness Preservation (EGAP) has been focusing on this que...
While the ongoing war in Ukraine has not thus far resulted in any major radiological threats to public health and safety, it is the first time in history that a country with significant nuclear and r...
