The Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) is an intergovernmental organization that promotes the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Established in 1958, it operates under the umbrella of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The NEA provides a platform for member countries to collaborate on nuclear safety, waste management, and research, ensuring that nuclear energy is used responsibly and efficiently. The agency also conducts studies and shares information on nuclear technology and policy. By fostering international cooperation, the NEA aims to enhance the safety and sustainability of nuclear energy, addressing challenges such as nuclear waste management and radiation protection.
