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-assessmenta) Country: Effective use of integrated

assistanceb) 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 portfolio

29 EISD indicators : • Society (4)• Economy (15) • Environment (10)

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

Energy Indicator for Sustainable Development (EISD)

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
