4. INPRO Programme Areas • Substantive Programme Areas • A: Nuclear Energy Systems Assessments • B: Global Vision • C: Innovations in Nuclear Technology • D: Innovations in Institutional Arrangements • Cross-cutting • E: INPRO Dialogue Forum • INPRO Management • F: Management, Coordination, Strategic Planning, Steering Committee, Outreach

5. INPRO Programme Areas • A: INPRO Assessments • To assist Member States in performing Nuclear Energy System Assessments (NESA) using the INPRO methodology, in support of long-term strategic planning and nuclear energy deployment decision making • B: Global Vision • To develop global and regional nuclear energy scenarios, on the basis of a scientific-technical pathway analysis, that lead to a global vision on sustainable nuclear energy development in the 21st century, and to support Member States in working towards that vision

6. INPRO Programme Areas • C: Innovations in Nuclear Technology • To foster collaboration among INPRO Member States on selected innovative nuclear technologies and related R&D that contribute to sustainable nuclear energy • D: Innovations in Institutional Arrangements • To investigate and foster collaboration on innovative institutional and legal arrangements for the use of innovative nuclear systems in the 21st century and to support Member States in developing and implementing such innovative arrangements

7. INPRO Programme Areas • E: INPRO Dialogue Forum • To bring together technology holders and technology users to discuss, debate and share information on desirable innovations, both technical and institutional, but also national long-term nuclear planning strategies and approaches and, on the highest level, the global nuclear energy system • F: Policy Coordination, Communication, and Management • To plan and organize meetings of the Steering Committee and coordinate policies with other international initiatives (e.g. GIF), but also to communicate and disseminate INPRO achievements and results to its stakeholders through publications and meetings/conferences

8. 2010-11 Planning Principles • Planning of INPRO activities is based on • Guidance from the General Conference • INPRO Steering Committee • Takes into account recommendations from OIOS • In line with: • IAEA’s Programme & Budget for 2010–2011 • Subprogramme 1.1.4: Coordination of the International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles

9. Implementation and Leadership • All INPRO Activities are be implemented by the INPRO Group • INPRO Group Leader and INRPO Programme Liaison Officer • Team Leaders lead Programme Areas • Activity Leaders lead the individual projects, publication development and meetings • Option: co-leadership, shared with other units/Departments • Several mechanisms can be used to achieve a desired and planned deliverable, including in particular • INPRO Collaborative Projects or Coordinated Research Projects • Consultancies; • In-house expertise; and • Contracts with external experts.

10. Coordination Principles • Ensuring IAEA-internal coordination • All INPRO activities will be implemented in close coordination with relevant activities under the IAEA’s regular budget • For Action Plan 2010–2011: incorporated explicitly in the draft plan • “In cooperation with” means a jointly implemented activity with shared responsibilities, or funds, or two Scientific Secretaries • “Coordinated with” means information exchange and mutual support in a general way • Agreements with all INPRO coordinators, i.e. Departmental representatives, as shown
