The World Nuclear Association has launched a new partnership with the OECD Nuclear Agency in an effort to improve nuclear safety.
The companies signed a memorandum of understanding at the World Nuclear Association Symposium in London on Sept. 6. According to Agneta Rising, director general of the World Nuclear Association, the agreement will further support the development of nuclear as an affordable sustainable source of low-carbon electricity.
Under the agreement, the organizations will share best practices and cooperate in supporting the wider understanding of nuclear energy and its development.
“Industry is often the major implementer of national energy policies and has the most relevant and comprehensive information about many vital aspects of those policies,” said William Magwood, IV, director general at NEA. “This memorandum of understanding will help the NEA gain important insights from industry and ensure we are able to provide our member countries with the most relevant and comprehensive information.”
