[en] Full text of publication follows: The Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities (CNRA) of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) is an international committee composed primarily of senior nuclear regulators. It was set up in 1989 as a forum for the exchange of information and experience among regulatory organisations and for the review of developments which could affect regulatory requirements. The Committee is responsible for the NEA programme concerning the regulation, licensing and inspection of nuclear installations. In particular, the Committee reviews current practices and operating experience. The CNRA created the Working Group on the Regulation of New Reactors (Working Group) at the Bureau meeting of December 2007. Their Mandate was to 'be responsible for the programme of work in the CNRA dealing with regulatory activities in the primary programme areas of siting, licensing and oversight for new commercial nuclear power reactors (Generation III+ and Generation IV)'. At its second meeting in 2008, the Working Group agreed on the development of a report based on recent regulatory experiences describing; 1) the licensing structures, 2) the number of regulatory personnel and the skill sets needed to perform reviews, assessments and construction oversight, and 3) types of training needed for these activities. Also the Working Group agreed on the development of a comparison report on the licensing processes for each member state. Following discussion at its meeting in March 2009, the Working Group agreed on combining the reports into one, and developing a survey where each member would provide their input to the completion of the report. Because of the magnitude of this survey, the Working Group decided to divide into 4 parts; general, siting, design and construction. This presentation will focus on the results of the general section. Some of the topics covered in this part are licensing process, governing authorities, legal decision, general level of effort and infrastructure. In the end, the purpose of the full report is to serve as a guide for regulatory bodies to promote safety through the understanding of different ways to review and approve a new reactor application.
