International
The main aim of ENSI’s international cooperation is the continuous improvement of nuclear safety and security, and the strengthening of nuclear oversight in Switzerland. This is to be achieved through active participation in the exchange of international regulatory information and experience, through international review missions and the support of other federal bodies.
Furthermore, ENSI’s international activities should contribute to the continuous improvement of nuclear safety and security, and to the strengthening and independence of nuclear oversight at a global level.
For this reason, ENSI is heavily involved in the committees of the International Atomic Energy Agency of the United Nations (IAEA), in the working groups of the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), in the European Nuclear Security Regulators’ Association (ENSRA) and in particular in the Western European Nuclear Regulators’ Association WENRA.
International cooperation allows ENSI to follow developments in international safety regulations and foreign supervisory authorities and thus to be up-to-date with the latest scientific and technological developments, as well as offering an opportunity to shape and influence them.
