Renewed interest for nuclear energy
• Growth estimate from 20 to 100% by 2030…
• Different country situations:
• Countries having never stopped NPP construction,
• Countries having stopped construction but willing to resume soon,
• Nuclear power Newcomers

CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS
Embarking on a Nuclear Power Program is a complex process:
- Development of Governmental, legal and regulatory infrastructure
- Training and expertise development of Regulator, Operator and TSOs
Past experience has confirmed that about 15 years are necessary before starting the first NPP
Nuclear Safety remains a national responsibility:
- No possible delegation
- Necessary ownership and commitment
International Atomic Energy Agency
CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS
Nuclear newcomers should sign and apply relevant treaties and conventions including civil liability for nuclear damage
Vendor countries have some moral responsibilities and common interest. They should contribute to create an adequate safety infrastructure in recipient countries. The IAEA should support this
Convention of Nuclear Safety could be used to share steps and actions for transferring safely nuclear technology to newcomers
International Atomic Energy Agency
CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS
International leverage should be enhanced by the IAEA, bilateral and multilateral arrangements, MDEP…
IAEA safety and guides for countries embarking on nuclear power should be enhanced or developed
IAEA tailored review services (IRRS, OSART) should be prerequisite at different stages of newcomers development.
International Atomic Energy Agency
CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS
Similar workshop to be repeated in 18 months
- Gathering all parties of vendor countries and newcomers
- focused on newcomers’ presentations about their situation, challenges and difficulties
