Why did WANO begin?

After the accident at the Chernobyl NPP in 1986, nuclear operators world-wide realised that

international cooperation was needed to ensure that such an accident can never happen again.

WANO was formed in 1989 by nuclear operators world-wide.

The WANO Mission

To maximise the safety and reliability of the operation of nuclear power plants by exchanging

information and encouraging communication, comparison and emulation amongst its members.

Arguments for the new NPP Unit

• Covers partly the additional electricity demand and replaces old power plants

• Enables, together with renewables, the fulfilment of the Kyoto commitments

• Secures stable and predictable electricity price

• Reduces the dependence on electricity import
