Workshop on Strategic Environmental Assessments of Nuclear Power Programmes

The purpose of this workshop is to provide training on conducting SEAs for national nuclear power programmes in accordance with the related IAEA guidelines. The various stages of the SEA process will be presented and discussed, including topics such as approaches for managing and implementing SEA, stakeholder engagement, quality assurance, and structure and content of the SEA report.

The workshop will consist of a series of lectures by both invited experts and IAEA staff members, which will be complemented by selected presentations given by the workshop participants. The participants will discuss the issues they may face in conducting SEAs for nuclear power programmes, and how the IAEA may support them in this process. Work sessions based on group work and hands-on exercises will serve to deepen the participants’ understanding of the implementation of the SEA process.

This training workshop is open to about 25 energy professionals/experts from selected IAEA Member States interested in introducing or expanding nuclear power production as part of their future energy mix.
