Nuclear power newsletter. Vol. 7, no. 3, September 2010

The Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Group (INIG) was established by the IAEA Director General, effective 1 July 2010. Its objective is to manage activities related to the introduction of nuclear power in Member States and to improve coordination within the IAEA of integrated services. The establishment of INIG allows the IAEA to better implement the comprehensive approach to nuclear power development described in the Milestones publication. In addition to the launching of the Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review (INIR), another means for strengthening support to countries introducing nuclear power is in the establishment of a Technical Working Group (TWG) for Nuclear Power Infrastructure. This TWG will be composed of experts from countries introducing nuclear power and those with operating experience. It will provide means for ensuring that the IAEA programme is aligned with the priority needs of Member States and a forum for information sharing and coordination of bilateral assistance and IAEA activities
