Summary:

The United States now participates in and funds many organizations dealing with international nuclear safety. One of these groups, the International Nuclear Regulators Association, was established in 1997 as an informal group for senior regulators to exchange ideas and views on issues related to nuclear safety and regulation. This report provides information on (1) the Association's activities since it was created, (2) U.S. costs to support the Commission's participation in the Association, (3) the views of the Commissioners and others on the benefits of the Association, and (4) other groups and activities that promote nuclear safety and the extent to which these groups duplicate the work of the Association. GAO found that the International Nuclear Regulators Association's activities since its inception more than two years ago have focused on practical matters, such as arranging and conducting meetings to discuss nuclear regulation and safety-related issues.
