Description
The World Nuclear Association has developed an internationally standardized reporting tool to understand the sustainable development performance of uranium mining and processing sites (referred to as the ‘Checklist’). The goal is to achieve widespread agreement on a list of topics and indicators (for example, environment, health and safety, corporate social responsibility) for common use in demonstrating producers’ adherence to sustainable development performance. Accompanying guidelines have also been prepared to support its use and completion. The Checklist is designed to draw on producers’ existing reporting, supplemented by additional information required to achieve comprehensive supply chain risk management.
The Checklist has been developed to align with the Association’s policy document ‘Sustaining Global Best Practices in Uranium Mining and Processing: Principles for Managing Radiation, Health and Safety, and Waste and the Environment’. It has been prepared in cooperation with experts from some of the Association’s member organizations.
It is anticipated that the Checklist will be reviewed over the next year to ensure that it accounts for any recent developments and feedback from user testing.
