•Sequential development through the 3 Phases for each of 19 infrastructure issues

•Ranging from government’s national position on nuclear power to procurement of items and services for the 1st NPP

There are 3 Phases and 3 Milestones

Phase Milestone1. Pre-project 1. Ready to make a knowledgeable

commitment to a nuclear programme2. Decision making 2. Ready to invite bids for the 1st NPP3. Construction 3. Ready to commission and operate

the 1st NPP

Feasibility study Bidding process

Pre project Project decision making Construction

Considerations before a decision to launch a nuclear power programme is taken

Preparatory work for the construction of a NPP after a policy decision has been taken

Activities to implement a first NPP

Maintenance and continuous infrastructure improvement

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

Never moving beyond planning stage

Focusing on specific issues but missing the big picture

Inviting bids with no appropriate response

Developing unsustainable nuclear power programme

Description Number in 2008

Number in 2010

Not planning to introduce nuclear power plants, but interested in considering the issues associated with a nuclear power programme

16 31

Considering a nuclear programme to meet identified energy needs with a strong indication of intention to proceed

14 14

Active preparation for a possible nuclear power programme with no final decision

After Fukushima Accident, of 38 countries without nuclear power that, before the accident, had strongly indicated their intentions to proceed with nuclear power programmes, including those with active construction or reactors on order, a few have cancelled or revised their plans but most have not.

IAEA’s role

• Standards and Guidance• Reviews and Services• Capacity Building• Knowledge Networks• Forum for communicating, increasing

transparency, sharing lessons learned

Established in July 2010 Purpose- Improved development and delivery of the

IAEA nuclear infarstructure related services

- Improved integration of the IAEA activities- Better coordination on technical aspects of

the TC projects- Optimization of the IAEA staff resources

dedicated to these services

Before contract After contract

Several bilateral assistance may be provided in parallel

Most of the assistance provided by the vendor and by the RB that have licensed a similar facility

Signature of the Contract

- Bilateral Assistance can facilitate the development of nuclear infrastructureAnd it will be further augmented with- Multi-lateral information sharing- Soft-coordination among bilateral cooperation

20

- Experts in the Mission- Acceptance of Fellowship and Scientific Visit- Sharing experience through workshops, netwoking and

the development of the IAEA document

Appreciate to co-hosting the training course with the IAEA- KHNP: Mentoring Programme - KOICA/KAERI: Nuclear Power Policy, Planning and

Project Management- Argonne National Laboratory: Leadership and Management- French Atomic Energy Commission: Leadership and Management

- Proposal from - JICC and- KAERI on Technical Aspects for NP Introduction

89 participants from more than 45 countries discussed the developmentof a national position, their experiences with self-evaluation of infrastructure status and INIR Missions.

The Next Workshop is24-27 Jan 2012

22

- Adovisory Group to DDG-NE- The first TWG meeting in November 2011- Consist of 19 experts both from newcomer and experienced

countries (Chair; Mr R Mendez, Uruguay)

- Documents and assistance services have been developed and provided to MSs

- More integrate and phased approach for the IAEA assistance through INIG

- Support from experienced countries, including soft-coordination, to be further enhanced

- Lessons learned from Fukushima Accident to be shared
