in the context of the current energy crisis
WENRA is today re-publishing revised versions of two of its reports covering its Safety Reference Levels (SRLs) for Waste Storage and for Decommissioning. These reports were last published in 2014 and 2015 respectively and the new versions provide updates on the benchmarking of the national regulatory frameworks of 18 WENRA members that has been carried out since the previous reports.
The WENRA Terms of Reference (ToR) were updated at the November 2023 plenary meeting held in Paris.
At its November 2023 plenary meeting held in Paris, WENRA approved its new strategy.
In 2014 WENRA published the revised Safety Reference Levels (SRLs) as the result of a review in light of the learning from the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi NPP accident. The first task for WENRA countries was to implement the new SRLs into their national regulations. Following this WENRA’s Reactor Harmonization Working Group (RHWG) started to discuss options for a benchmarking process on the implementation of SRLs at the Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs).
