WNA Members appoint the Director General and elect a Board of Management.
The World Nuclear Association's DG is John Ritch. The Chairman of the Board is Andy White and the Vice Chairman is Chris Crane.
The WNA's Board of Management fulfils all statutory duties pertaining to the organisation's governance, sets WNA policies and strategic objectives subject to approval by the full membership, and instructs the Director General on the membership’s behalf.
To ensure balance, the 15-member Board has at least two members from each of the three categories of WNA institutional membership: supplier, generator and general.
To facilitate the Board's representation of the WNA's entire institutional membership, each Board member performs liaison with a certain portion of the membership in a way designed to give every WNA member a direct channel to the Board.
Board members also act as Mentors for the various WNA Working Groups. This enables the Board to monitor the activities of the Working Groups and to shape the overall agenda of the Working Groups as a whole.
The Board convenes at least three times each year, and Board members communicate regularly with the WNA secretariat. The Board of Management currently comprises:
