WANO

World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) unites every company and country in the world with an operating commercial nuclear power plant to achieve the highest possible standards of nuclear safety.

Based in London with regional centres in Moscow, Atlanta, Tokyo and Paris, WANO cuts across political barriers and interests. We exist purely to help our members achieve the highest levels of operational safety and reliability. We do this through peer reviews, technical support and access to a global library of operating experience.

We are a non-profit organisation with a Governing Board that sets policies that are implemented in our regional centres. Day-to-day work in these centres is overseen by WANO’s Executive Leadership Team and our programmes are managed by permanent and seconded employees drawn from members around the world.

While we work directly with our members, we are not a regulatory body and do not advise companies or countries on reactor design issues.

With safety as our only goal, we help operators communicate effectively and share information openly because experience shows many accidents could have been prevented if lessons had been learned from previous incidents. Ultimately, this will raise the performance of all operators to that of the best.
