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
IAEA WS, 2009 December 3
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
IAEA WS, 2009 December 4
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
IAEA WS, 2009 December 7
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.
