Roles The WNTI provides: A forum for members to share information and ideas;International – Nuclear Law Association Well-researched, consolidated positions;ingentaconnect Nuclear Transport — The Regulatory Dimension Time-sensitive, value-added analyses of regulatory changes; Technical research, studies and publications;Publicaciones Dialogue with intergovernmental organisations;ENS Nuclear Links A collective voice for industry.ingentaconnect The Eyes, Ears and Collective Voice for Nuclear Transport

International cooperation Intergovernmental organisations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)IAEA 47th General Conference : Scientific Forum : Best Practices and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) play a crucial role in establishing standards and regulations that apply to radioactive materials transport.Institution Through its non-governmental status, the WNTI supports the work of these organizations in promoting an efficient international transport safety regime.

Exchanges within intergovernmental organisations, with competent authorities and collaboration with related industry organisations such as FORATOM,FORATOM – FORATOM european atomic forum the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI),Nuclear Energy Institute - Clean-Air Energy the World Nuclear Association (WNA),World Nuclear Association Nuclear Power - a Sustainable Energy Resource the World Institute for Nuclear Security (WINS)WINS – World Institute for Nuclear Security and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)ISO – International Organization for Standardization are essential and remain a priority for the WNTI.World Nuclear Associationdeveloping international standards: Topics by WorldWideScience.org
