FOREWORD

The primary objective of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) is to encourage 
co-operation among the governments in furthering the development of nuclear 
power as a safe, environmentally acceptable and economic energy source. In 
particular, the Nuclear Development Committee (NDC) of the NEA has the mandate 
to "ensure that appropriate technical and economic studies on nuclear energy 
development and the fuel cycle" are carried out.

Preparations are in hand in several countries for the disposal of highly radioactive 
waste and spent nuclear fuel, and there is a growing number of projects to 
decommission nuclear facilities such as nuclear power plants. There is increasing 
interest among policy makers and the general public in the financing of these 
activities. The NDC, therefore, decided to initiate a study on this topic to 
complement earlier work on the costs of nuclear electricity generation including 
waste management and disposal and decommissioning.

The main objectives of the study are to provide comprehensive information on 
policies established in Member countries for recognising and funding future 
financial liabilities arising from peaceful nuclear activities, to analyse how 
these policies meet the "polluter pays" principle and to ensure the sustainability 
of nuclear power programmes.

Experts from 12 NEA countries and two international organisations participated in 
the expert group convened by the NEA (see Annex 3). Information and data were 
collected through a questionnaire sent to NEA Member countries in 1994. Responses 
were received from 16 NEA countries.

This report is the result of collaborative efforts of experts in this field but it 
does not necessarily represent the views of participating countries or international 
organisations. It is published on the responsibility of the Secretary-General of OECD.
