World Nuclear News is an online information service that covers the latest developments related to nuclear power. Our aim is to combine accessibility with accuracy. It is designed to serve a broad audience that includes not only nuclear professionals but also journalists, researchers, opinion leaders, policy-makers, and the general public.
WNN stories are supplied free of charge and may be freely reproduced.
The WNN service is supported, administratively and with technical advice, by the World Nuclear Association and the World Nuclear University. It draws on a global network of contacts in industry, academia, research institutes and inter-governmental agencies. Industry contacts include key personnel in enterprises that account for virtually all of the world's uranium mining, nuclear fuel manufacture, equipment production and nuclear power generation.
The goal of WNN reporting is to provide comprehensive coverage and to place worldwide nuclear developments in context by supplying background information, expert commentary and links to relevant authoritative sources.
All of our reporting appears on the WNN website, where you will find our entire news output, current and past. WNN coverage includes every anomaly, incident or accident in worldwide nuclear industry operations. Anomalies and incidents not graded as serious will be recorded routinely under Nuclear Event Reports. In case of any event of greater consequence, WNN will engage our worldwide contact network to provide comprehensive, up-to-the-minute reporting.
To help a diverse WNN audience stay abreast of our reporting, email is used in three ways:
- WNN Daily: The day's headlines with links to the full WNN story, plus alerts to items appearing in other media
- WNN Weekly: A weekly compilation of the WNN Daily news, sorted by topic

In addition, we offer these news summaries for a general readership:

- WNN Newsletter (by post): A bimonthly that combines a compilation of WNN Overviews with an analytic lead feature
WNN readers can easily opt in or out of receiving any of these notifications and products.
