The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA)
is a specialised
agency within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD), an intergovernmental organi-
sation of industrialised countries, based in Paris, France.
The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of
34 democracies work together to address the economic,
social and environmental challenges of globalisation.
The mission of the NEA
is to assist its member coun-
tries in maintaining and further developing, through
international co-operation, the scientific, technological
and legal bases required for the safe, environmentally
friendly and economical use of nuclear energy for peace-
ful purposes.
The NEA’s current membership
consists of 30 coun-
tries: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Czech
Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg,
Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the
Republic of Korea, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and
the United States. Russian accession to the NEA will be
effective on 1 January 2013. Together these countries
account for approximately 90% of the world’s installed
nuclear capacity. Currently, nuclear power accounts
for roughly one-fifth of the electricity produced in NEA
member countries.
NEA areas of work
cover nuclear safety and regula-
tion; radioactive waste management; radiological pro-
tection; nuclear science; nuclear energy development
and the fuel cycle; nuclear law and liability; nuclear data;
and information and communication.
NEA strengths
are manifold. It is a non-partisan
source of information, data and analyses, drawing on one
of the best international networks of technical experts.
Its system of standing technical committees enables
the Agency to be both flexible and responsive. All NEA
committees are now mobilised to identify lessons learnt
from the Fukushima Daiichi accident and to contribute
to making nuclear safety, radiological protection and
emergency management systems stronger.
