About us
On a daily basis World Nuclear News (WNN) provides free and accurate public information on the subject of nuclear power. The goal of WNN is to use plain English to place comprehensive coverage of nuclear power in context using background information, expert commentary and links to relevant authoritative sources. Because they are researched from original sources and written in-house by experienced journalists, WNN stories may be freely reproduced under certain licence conditions. The WNN service is supported administratively and with technical advice by the World Nuclear Association and is based within its London Secretariat. It draws on the World Nuclear Association's global network of contacts in industry, academia, research institutes and intergovernmental agencies that include key personnel in enterprises, which account for virtually all of the world's uranium mining, nuclear fuel manufacture, equipment production and nuclear power generation. All WNN stories are available on this free-access website, which is updated every working day (observing UK public holidays). Story headlines and summaries are compiled in the WNN Daily email and, on Tuesdays, in the WNN Weekly email. Both of these are available free by joining our mailing list - visit our website to find out more. Readers can discuss stories on WNN's Facebook page, while the headlines of every story are carried on an RSS feed and through WNN's Twitter account, @W_Nuclear_News.
