Summary:

This publication by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) offers comprehensive guidance on developing national nuclear power programs. It outlines a three-phase approach for countries aiming to introduce or expand nuclear power, covering issues such as safety, management, financing, legal frameworks, and stakeholder engagement. The revision reflects updates in nuclear technology, including small and modular reactors, and incorporates lessons from past implementations and the Fukushima Daiichi accident. The book serves as a resource for countries, suppliers, and nuclear energy agencies to assess preparedness and ensure safe and secure operation of nuclear power plants. Generated by AI.
