At a debate on the 2022 annual report of the IAEA at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday and Thursday, Ambassador Giang said Vietnam and its partners are developing the Vietnamese Information Management System (VIMS) to enable nuclear facilities to post reports online, which will simplify inspection, oversight, and reporting.
Mr. Giang said technologies like Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Floating Nuclear Power Platforms (FNPPs) pose challenges to the current legal framework as well as to security and safety and navigation.
Vietnam supports a cautious step-by-step approach within the IAEA framework for research, development, licensing, management, and operation of FNPPs involving close collaboration.
