; ; ; ;

This article describes the international cooperative program in nuclear safety and licensing that is carried out in the framework of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and is directed by the NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI). Its prinicpal objectives are: (1) to increase the fund of knowledge in key areas of safety research through international cooperation and hence broaden the technical data base available to regulatory authorities; and (2) to bring about an international consensus on important safety issues. The CSNI also provides a forum for the exchange of information and experience between licensing authorities in the OECD countries. The program is made up of general exchanges of information and operational cooperation. The article gives examples of both aspects of the program, describing the objectives and the different working methods used. It goes on to point out the need for enhanced international cooperation in safety research and outlines the directions this should take.
