About World Nuclear News
World Nuclear News is the only free online service dedicated to covering developments related to nuclear power.
WNN is designed to accessibly and accurately serve a broad audience that includes not only nuclear professionals but also journalists, researchers, opinion leaders, policy-makers, and the general public.
The WNN service is supported, administratively and with technical advice, by the World Nuclear Association and the World Nuclear University. It draws on a global network of contacts in industry, academia, research institutes and inter-governmental agencies. Industry contacts include key personnel in enterprises that account for virtually all of the world's uranium mining, nuclear fuel manufacture, equipment production and nuclear power generation.
The goal of WNN reporting is to provide comprehensive coverage and to place worldwide nuclear developments in context by supplying background information, expert commentary and links to relevant authoritative sources. WNN stories are supplied free of charge and may be freely reproduced.
Website
All WNN's news output, current and past, appears on this searchable website. WNN coverage includes every anomaly, incident or accident in worldwide nuclear industry operations. Anomalies and incidents not graded as serious will be recorded routinely under Nuclear Event Reports. In case of any event of greater consequence, WNN will engage our worldwide contact network to provide comprehensive, up-to-the-minute reporting.
