The NEA and the Ministry of Energy Transition of France will host the first government-industry conference.

The NEA announced today that it will co-operate with Net Zero Nuclear, the platform that the global nuclear industry has launched to deliver a Financing Nuclear work stream during COP28 in Dubai.

The NEA participated in the COP 26 United Nations Climate Change Conference from 31 October to 12 November 2021 for dialogues on the role that nuclear energy could play in achieving the decarbonisati...

NEA Director-General William D. Magwood, IV explains how an energy mix that includes nuclear power can help achieve global climate change goals.

The new NEA initiative was announced at the 28th meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28). 

This COP28 was a historic event for nuclear energy when it was formally specified as one of the solutions to climate change. 

The Joint NEA-IAEA Uranium Group discussed latest and future activities during a meeting in Paris.

Nuclear technology covers diverse subjects such as technology and innovation development of the nuclear fuel cycle and disruptive technologies like additive manufacturing and artificial intelligence....

Uranium is the raw material used to produce fuel for long-lived nuclear power facilities, necessary for the generation of significant amounts of low-carbon electricity and other uses, such as heat an...

Uranium is the raw material used to produce fuel for long-lived nuclear power facilities, necessary for the generation of significant amounts of baseload low-carbon electricity for decades to come. A...

This handbook makes international guidance on estimating decommissioning costs more accessible by compiling material from two key reports: the International Structure for Decommissioning Costing (ISD...

All low-carbon solutions will be required to achieve the world's net zero targets. Nuclear energy has a role to play in meeting this need. A wave of innovation in small modular reactors (SMRs) is adv...

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are technologies capable of harnessing the energy from nuclear fission reactions to produce heat and electricity with power outputs typically smaller than 300 MWe, with ...

The CRPPH has long served as a forum for exchange and co-operation, to establish best practices, contribute to the development of the key recommendations of the International Commission on Radiologic...

Updates from the NEA Working Group on Reactor Oversight

The EGRRS supports NEA member countries to optimise the development of national radioactive waste management and decommissioning programmes through the application of robotic and remote systems.

The main mission of the Working Group on Human and Organisational Factors (WGHOF) is to improve the understanding and treatment of human and organisational factors within the nuclear industry in orde...

International Nuclear Law Essentials (INLE) course took place on 4-8 March.

A new working group will focus on HTGRs.

The fourth FACE meeting brought together experts to Cologne, Germany.

NEA workshop in Ottawa, Canada, which convened government and private sector, explored the economic status of SMRs and their role in the transition to a low-carbon energy future.

NEA workshop gathers nuclear sector stakeholders for interactive discussions.

Forty nuclearexperts came together to explore the latest developments in preparations for the LTO beyond sixty years of existing nuclear power plants.  

Radioactive waste management is the safe treatment, storage and disposal of liquid, solid and gas discharge from nuclear industry operations with the goal of protecting people and the environment.

In capacity building and gender balance, a key goal is to attract and retain more women in the technology and science fields by promoting education and development in those areas.

The NEA established the Country-Specific Safety Culture Forum (CSSCF) to examine how nuclear safety culture can be influenced by the national cultural context of a country operating nuclear facilitie...

L’un des nombreux enseignements tirés au sujet de la sûreté nucléaire au fil du temps est que les aspects humains sont tout aussi importants que les enjeux techniques de l’exploitation nucléaire. Si ...

One of the many lessons learnt about nuclear safety over the years has been that human aspects of nuclear safety are as important as any technical issue that may arise. The international nuclear comm...

The International School of Nuclear Law (ISNL) is a two-week programme run annually by the NEA and the University of Montpellier and supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Coveri...

The NEA has published the latest version of the NEA Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Dashboard which provides a comprehensive assessment of the progress made by 56 SMR designers and companies worldwide. 

Project members held a meeting to discuss the activities.

Safety Culture involves everyone whose attitude may influence nuclear safety, not only the utility operators but also the regulatory body. The aim of this document is to focus on the dual role of the...

The concept of improving nuclear safety versus maintaining it has been discussed at a number of nuclear regulators meetings in recent years. National reports have indicated that there are philosophic...

Each nuclear power plant, fuel cycle facility and nuclear research and test facility that is operating today will eventually reach the end of its useful life and cease operation. During the period of...
