Introduction

• A nuclear program is a major undertaking – careful planning, preparation and investment

• The development and implementation of an appropriate infrastructure is the key

• The IAEA provides a wide range of support in establishment of a national nuclear infrastructure

IAEA

Assistance for the newcomers in nuclear power program

• 3 INIR missions were successfully implemented in 2009: Jordan, Indonesia and Vietnam (4 in 2010)

• Mission for National Infrastructure Self-Assessment Verification in Chile in 2009

• Regional Workshop was organized on the NPP Project Management in Vienna in June 2009

• Conference on Human Resource Development in UAE (14-18 March 2010)

IAEA

Summary

• Our main task is to help your country become a knowledgeable customer, by understanding the process to embark on Nuclear Power, the technology and being able to coordinate internally all required programs

• We need your feedback on how the IAEA can improve assistance

• This TM/Workshop is a good opportunity to discuss your opinion
