Nuclear Power Infrastructure Developmenthow to harmonize efforts to face the challenges?

IAEA WS, 2009 December 2

Background: International support to new countries

Various international initiative and suppliers are willing to support• GNEP, EC, G8, WANO, WNA, Bilateral arrangement• Players in the market (Suppliers, Consultants)

Agency’s support has limitation due to available resources • details in implementation by practitioners • technology specific support by Suppliers

Coordination may be necessary, with the following objectives• To make sure recipients needs are addressed appropriately• Effective use of international resources• Avoid overlap & speak in one voice• International confidence building on the country’s NP programme


Key to successful coordinated support : information

Information from Supplier/Recipient on what is going on Results from infrastructure assessment indicating infrastructure status and distance to the goal

Agency’s independent Assessment (INIR)

Recognized status &distance to milestone

Self-assessment a) Country: Effective use of integrated assistance

b) IAEA: Reflect on TCPc) International concerted efforts to to address the recognized gaps d) Confidence building by meeting suppliers/bankers expectation (“nuclear-worthiness”)

Collected informationFrom Supplier/Recipient


Various approach conceivable

Issue specific global WG Global forum for sharing experiences & LL from infrastructure

building and infrastructure assessment A group approach centered around a specific recipient country

Sharing information of a) infrastructure assessment & b) assistance by International Non-Gov Organs 1,2 and bilateral agreement with provider countries A, B, C

Need further discussion

1. If coordination or harmonized action is necessary or not ?

2. If it is needed, What is the objective of harmonization / coordination? What is the role of the Agency and added value by Agency’s

involvement? Is there willingness to share information from both sides ? How the collected information can be used? Extent of sharing of information? Modality of coordination


BTW, something I forgot to say in my presentation on the first day

For long-term planning of future energy system including nuclear power, consider the use of IAEA tools:

a) For consideration of SD; EISD (Energy Indicator for Sustainable Development )b) For energy planning; Energy Planning Tools CA (Comparative Assessment)c) To achieve higher goals in safety, security, economics, waste,

environment, proliferation-resistance and infrastructure for nuclear power and fuel cycle:

INPRO assessment methodology


Many attributes of nuclear energy have potential to contribute to improve indicators of sustainable development

Potential to improve EISD of a nation by having NE in the energy portfolio29 EISD indicators :

• Society (4)• Economy (15) • Environment (10)

usable to Analyze past trends and current situation Measure distance to target Formulate strategy

Issues in harmonization/coordination

What is the objective?• Benefit for the recipients• Effective use of resources, avoid overlap, speak in one voice• International/regional confidence building on the country’s NP programme

What is the potential added value by Agency’s coordination?• Impartial coordination• Located at the crossroad of information on new countries development through

TCP and others. • A unique authority in verification and establishing standards for safety and

security. Through Agency’s involvement in the coordination, obligations and pre-requisites are

recognized among all the providers of support, which will benefit ensuring safe and secure and nuclear power programme with due regards to proliferation-resistance in new countries.


…Thank you for your attention
