Networks

 

Regional networks/organizations provide membership to regions around the globe. They constitute a forum for the exchange of regulatory experiences and practices among nuclear regulatory bodies of a specific region and help strengthen and harmonize radiation protection and the nuclear safety and security regulatory infrastructure of their members.

• Arab Network of Nuclear Regulators (ANNuR)
  
• Asian Nuclear Safety Network (ANSN)
  
• European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group (ENSREG)
• The European Technical Safety Organisations Network (ETSON)
• The European and Central Asian Safety Network (EuCAS) (Restricted)
• Forum of Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in Africa (FNRBA)
• Ibero-American Forum of Regulators (FORO)
• Western European Nuclear Regulators Association (WENRA)
• Head of European Radiological Protection Competent Authorities (HERCA)

RegNet provides a platform for international regulators from different IAEA Member States engaged in nuclear, radiation, and transport safety, to exchange regulatory knowledge and experience more effectively and efficiently in order to enhance nuclear and radiation safety throughout the world. RegNet also provides a platform for embarking countries to receive support from countries with matured nuclear power programmes, as well as an opportunity for senior regulators to get access to different regulatory fora, with the intention of bringing together regulatory experience. Some of these include:

• Canada Deuterium Uranium Reactor Regulators Forum (CANDU Senior Regulators Forum)
• Control of Sources Network (CSN)
  
• Regulatory Cooperation Forum (RCF)
• Global Transport Networks
• Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Regulators' Forum
• Water-Water Energrtic Reactor Regulators’ Forum (WWER Regulators’ Forum)
• Multinational Design Evaluation Programme (MDEP)

The National Nuclear Regulatory Portal (NNRP) is the ìNational Entrance Portalî of the RegNet.

Functions of the National Nuclear Regulatory Portal (NNRP)

• The NNRP is on one hand a part of the global RegNet and on the other hand the Entry Page to the:
• General Country Information;
• Country Nuclear Regulatory Profile (CNRP);
• National Networks (like an interface);
• Actual National Legislative Information (Legislative Pyramid);
• Exchange information resources between regulatory authorities of IAEA Member States.
• Exchange information resources between Member States and IAEA, including easier access to the restricted IAEA information resources;
• Use NNRP for country purposes.

Structure and Content of the NNRP

The NNRP is based on an uniform structure and administered by the respective country itself. At present content and structure developed in pilot phase is adequate and comprehensive enough. The NNRP contain the Country Nuclear Regulatory Profile (CNRP) as well as further country specific information on items of interest for nuclear regulatory purposes.
