• How do I start?
• Is there public support?
• Do I have the knowledgeable people?
• Can I find the fund?
• What am I going to do with the waste?
• Is it safe? Can I manage if there is an
accident?

Newcomers’ Top Issues
• Comprehensive
• Integrated
• 3 Phases
A pre-feasibility study should provide
high level answers to all these questions
and allow a knowledgeable decision

Summary
• The IAEA provides extensive support to countries
embarking on new nuclear power programs
• Infrastructure involves a wide range of issues and
institutions and effective coordination contributes to
success
• The decision is a policy decision, with strong political
implications
• Even after Fukushima, a number of countries continue
with plans to start NPP programmes

IAEA and Newcomers

“The Agency has a key role to play in
ensuring that this expansion in nuclear
power takes place in an efficient,
responsible and sustainable manner.”
”Assistance to newcomers, especially
those which are most advanced on the
road to having operational reactors, will
remain a high-priority issue.” Yukiya Amano
IAEA Director General
