Dear Radsafers,

IAEA published a safety report titled "Communication planning by the nuclear regulatory body", safety report series No 24 in 2002.Twenty four scientists and communication specialists from different parts of the world contributed to the drafting amd review of this document.

The report describes good practices and gives practical examples of how the regulatory body can establish a systematic and structured programme for enhancing effective communication with various parties under various circumstances.
