III. International Cooperation
� IAEA� FRANCE (IRSN) � USA (NRC, DOE/NNSA)� AUSTRALIA (ANSTO, ARPANSA, ASNO)� JAPAN (JAEA, JNES)� KOREA (KINS, KAERI)� EC
III. International Cooperation
� During the period from 28 September to 9 October 2009, the IRRS team came and worked with VARANS (and other relevant agencies) for the self-assessment activities for the first time.
� Vietnam regulatory infrastructure for radiation and nuclear safety has been reviewed;
� Conclusions and recommendations to improve the regulatory infrastructure for radiation and nuclear safety to comply with IAEA standards were drawn.
IV. Conclusions
� VARANS has substantially developed in the last 3 - 4 years, especially in preparation for NPP
� Vietnam has prepared for NPP for over 10 years and is now at the stage for nuclear power development
� International cooperation plays an important role in strengthening VARANS capacities in particular and Vietnam capacity in ensuring nuclear safety in general
