Abstract
In response to an IAEA General Conference Resolution in September 2000, which invited both nuclear technology suppliers and users to combine their efforts to consider international and national actions required to achieve desired innovations in nuclear reactors and fuel cycles, the IAEA launched the International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles (INPRO) in May 2001. The General Conference of the IAEA in September 2001 praised the initial progress of INPRO and adopted another resolution, which recognized the unique role that the IAEA can play in international collaboration in the nuclear field. As of June 2003, 14 IAEA Member States and the European Commission have become member of INPRO. In total, more than 20 cost-free experts have been nominated by these Member States and the European Commission to work for the INPRO project at the IAEA. Five meetings of the INPRO Steering Committee (SC), which is the decision making and review body of INPRO, were held. The 5th SC meeting was held on 26-28 May 2003 to review results and to recommend further actions. The objective of INPRO, which comprises two phases, is to support safe, economic and proliferation resistant use of nuclear technology, in a sustainable manner, to

The objective of INPRO, which comprises two phases, is to support safe, economic and proliferation resistant use of nuclear technology, in a sustainable manner, to meet the global energy needs in the next 50 years and beyond. During Phase I, work is subdivided into two subphases. Phase IA focuses on determining user requirements in the areas of economics, environment, safety, proliferation resistance, and crosscutting issues and developing methodologies and guidelines for the comparison of different reactor and fuel cycle concepts and approaches. The results of Phase IA through June 2003, will be included in a report which is planned to be available at the end of June 2003. Phase IA is now finalised and as of July 2003 Phase IB will start. During this phase interested Member States will perform case studies to assess selected innovative technologies against user requirements using the INPRO methodology and to provide feedback on both - the user requirements and the methodology. In accordance with the INPRO Terms of Reference, after successful completion of Phase I the 2nd Phase of INPRO may be initiated to examine the feasibility of commencing an international project on innovative technology development. The paper contains a description of the background and structure of the INPRO Project. (author)}
