Nuclear Power Infrastructure Development how to harmonize efforts to face the challenges? Akira OMOTODirector, Division of Nuclear Powera.omoto@iaea.org
Background: International support to new countries • Various international initiative and suppliers are willing to support • GNEP, EC, G8, WANO, WNA, Bilateral arrangement • Players in the market (Suppliers, Consultants) • Agency’s support has limitation due toavailable resources • details in implementation by practitioners • technology specific support by Suppliers • Coordination may be necessary, with the following objectives • To make sure recipients needs are addressed appropriately • Effective use of international resources • Avoid overlap & speak in one voice • International confidence building on the country’s NP programme WS, 2009 December
Key to successful coordinated support : information • Information from Supplier/Recipient on what is going on • Results from infrastructure assessment indicating infrastructure status and distance to the goal Collected information From Supplier/Recipient • Country: Effective use of integrated assistance • b) IAEA: Reflect on TCP • c) International concerted efforts to • to address the recognized gaps • d) Confidence building by meeting • suppliers/bankers expectation • (“nuclear-worthiness”) Self-assessment Recognized status & distance to milestone Agency’s independent Assessment (INIR) WS, 2009 December
Various approach conceivable • Issue specific global WG • Global forum for sharing experiences & LL from infrastructure building and infrastructure assessment • A group approach centered around a specific recipient country Sharing information of a) infrastructure assessment & b) assistance by International Non-Gov Organs 1,2 and bilateral agreement with provider countries A, B, C Country A Country X INO 1 Country B INO 2 IAEA Country C WS, 2009 December
Need further discussion • If coordination or harmonized action is necessary or not ? 2. If it is needed, • What is the objective of harmonization / coordination? • What is the role of the Agency and added value by Agency’s involvement? • Is there willingness to share information from both sides ? • How the collected information can be used? • Extent of sharing of information? • Modality of coordination WS, 2009 December
BTW, something I forgot to say in my presentation on the first day For long-term planning of future energy system including nuclear power, consider the use of IAEA tools: a) For consideration of SD; EISD (Energy Indicator for Sustainable Development ) b) For energy planning; Energy Planning Tools CA (Comparative Assessment) c) To achieve higher goals in safety, security, economics, waste, environment, proliferation-resistance and infrastructure for nuclear power and fuel cycle: INPRO assessment methodology WS, 2009 December
Energy Indicator for Sustainable Development (EISD) • Many attributes of nuclear energy have potential to contribute to improve indicators of sustainable development • Potential to improve EISD of a nation by having NE in the energy portfolio • 29 EISD indicators : • Society (4) • Economy (15) • Environment (10) • usable to • Analyze past trends and current situation • Measure distance to target • Formulate strategy WS, 2009 December
MAED WASP ENPEP MESSAGE FINPLAN SIMPACTS • IAEA tools for Energy Modeling and • Comparative Assessment • Model for the Analysis of Energy Demand • Wien Automatic System Planning Package • Energy and Power Evaluation Programme • Model for Energy Supply System Alternatives and their General Environmental impacts • Financial Analysis of Electric Sector Expansion Plans • Simplified Approach for Estimating Impacts of Electricity Generation WS, 2009 December
Networking: INPRO -- Forum of technology holders and users jointly to consider innovation WS, 2009 December
Structure of INPRO methodology Basic Principal User Requirement Criterion (Indicator +Accept. Limit) WS, 2009 December
Issues in harmonization/coordination What is the objective? • Benefit for the recipients • Effective use of resources, avoid overlap, speak in one voice • International/regional confidence building on the country’s NP programme What is the potential added value by Agency’s coordination? • Impartial coordination • Located at the crossroad of information on new countries development through TCP and others. • A unique authority in verification and establishing standards for safety and security. Through Agency’s involvement in the coordination, obligations and pre-requisites are recognized among all the providers of support, which will benefit ensuring safe and secure and nuclear power programme with due regards to proliferation-resistance in new countries.
