Key industry issues.
This document sets out principles for the management of radiation, health and safety, waste and the environment applicable to sites throughout the world.
While cooling is clearly an essential factor in the siting of individual nuclear plants, this is readily manageable and constitutes no constraint on the future growth of nuclear power as a large-scale low-cost provider of clean energy.
This World Nuclear Association technical position paper focuses on the job opportunities created by nuclear power plants. A comparison with another major source of low-carbon electricity – wind – is given to gauge the relative advantages of nuclear in this area.
Used nuclear fuel is responsibly managed to protect people and the environment, using well-established and proven industrial methods and technologies.
The area of low dose radiation covers all public planned exposure as well as the overwhelming majority of occupational exposure.
This Position Statement presents the nuclear industry's perspective and policy on the important subject of decommissioning of civil nuclear industry sites.
This technical position describes the benefits of long-term operation (LTO) of nuclear power plants, and the main considerations that need to be taken into account to ensure the longevity of nuclear operations in the years ahead.
Statement on the need for a robust basis for changes to radiological protection recommendations.
