New NEA booklet to help build trust

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) is proud to have been involved in the production of a new OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) booklet entitled Characteristics of a Trusted Nuclear Regulator which focuses on the importance of building trust. 

The booklet is intended to serve as a practical guide to explain the organisational characteristics, attributes and way of thinking that can help nuclear regulators build and maintain trust with interested stakeholders and the public. 

The guide offers helpful examples of actions and activities that can be used to demonstrate those organisational characteristics in practice.

The NEA and ONR are encouraging all established nuclear regulatory bodies to use the booklet as a benchmark so that they continually strive to enhance their effectiveness in fulfilling their mission to protect people and the environment.
