The World Nuclear Association has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the OECD Nuclear Agency at a ceremony in London.
Under the MoU, both organizations have agreed to share best practices and cooperate to support the wider understanding of nuclear energy and its development, to enable more effective and efficient nuclear safety, to exchange on improved approaches to decommission deactivated facilities, to enhance the legal frameworks associated with various international nuclear activities such as transport, and to support the economic and efficient use of nuclear energy.
Agneta Rising, Director General, World Nuclear Association, stated: "We are delighted to announce this agreement with the OECD NEA, which formalizes and strengthens the close and successful working relationship that already exists between our two organizations in several important areas such as nuclear safety, decommissioning, education, innovation, waste management and law. This MoU will further support the development of nuclear as an affordable sustainable source of low carbon electricity delivering 24/7".
NEA Director General William D. Magwood, IV, commented: "Industry is often the major implementer of national energy policies and has the most relevant and comprehensive information about many vital aspects of those policies."
