Adequacy of Funding Arrangements for Decommissioning and Radioactive Waste Management (ADEQ)
The NEA Annual Report 2019 provides an overview of the status of nuclear power in NEA member countries and illustrative descriptions of the Agency's activities and international joint projects. 2019 ...
NEA News is the professional journal of the NEA. It features articles on the latest nuclear energy issues concerning the economic and technical aspects of nuclear energy, nuclear safety and regulatio...
Limiting the rise of global temperature to less than 2°C represents an enormous challenge for the whole electricity sector. Decarbonising the electricity sector in a cost-effective manner while maint...
The world’s effort to decarbonise is one of the defining challenges for this generation and the window for action is rapidly narrowing. Nuclear energy is playing an important role today and can do mo...
Current status and future actions to ensure the reliable supply for molybdenum-99 (99Mo), and a conversation on a new generation of innovative radioisotopes for diagnostics and therapy
The NEA hosted...
At the request of its member countries, the NEA became involved in global efforts to ensure an economically sustainable secure supply of molybdenum-99/technetium-99m. This final concluding report of ...
Medical Radioisotopes
This report includes information provided confidentially by supply chain participants to support this new work of the NEA, which follows previous work undertaken by the High-level Group on the Securi...
Uranium is the raw material used to produce fuel for nuclear power plants and refers to the global markets study of its supply and demand.
The NEA established the High-level Group on the Security of Supply of Medical Radioisotopes (HLG-MR) in April 2009 to examine the underlying reasons for the global 2009-10 supply shortage and to deve...
The group analysed the potential contribution of uranium mining in economic and social development, and explored whether uranium activities are managed to ensure a positive benefit to local and natio...
Challenges related to extended storage are topical in most countries with mature nuclear programmes. Effort to address this issue is ongoing in individual countries. Available knowledge from member c...
The Expert Group conducted an appraisal of existing studies and data on the economic costs of severe nuclear accidents that have occurred in civil nuclear energy.
The goal of the Expert Group on Back-end Strategies (BEST) was to identify aspects of significant importance to countries’ decisions on whether to deploy partially and fully closed nuclear fuel cycle...
This expert group investigated what are the cogeneration capabilities of various advanced reactor designs, as well as the flexibility they may have to switch from electricity generation to heat produ...
The objective of the Ad hoc Expert Group was to develop a standardised methodology for assessing the technical and economic case for nuclear cogeneration.
Extending the lifetime of nuclear power plants is becoming common practice in OECD member countries. While applying for an extended operating licence, most operators are planning technical improvemen...
The overall aim of this expert group was to produce a definitive study across NEA member countries of the costs of management and disposal of radioactive waste from the nuclear fuel cycle on a common...
