10. Establish a level playing field
Establish a level playing field in energy markets which drives investment in future clean energy, where nuclear energy is treated on equal opportunity with other low-carbon technologies and recognized for its value in a reliable, robust low-carbon energy mix.

11. Establish a level playing field
Establish a level playing field in energy markets which drives investment in future clean energy, where nuclear energy is treated on equal opportunity with other low-carbon technologies and recognized for its value in a reliable, robust low-carbon energy mix.
Actions:
Adopt energy market policies that support all low-carbon energy sources.
Adopt appropriate carbon pricing or mechanisms.
Ensure grid system and energy security costs and benefits are recognized and rewarded in the energy market.
Provide long term price certainty for investment in high capital low- carbon electricity generation projects.
Avoid nuclear specific tax burdens.

12. Ensure harmonised regulatory processes
Ensure harmonised regulatory processes to provide a more internationally consistent, efficient and predictable nuclear licensing regime allowing for standardised solutions, to facilitate significant growth of nuclear capacity and timely licensing of innovative designs.

13. Ensure harmonized regulatory processes
Ensure harmonized regulatory processes to provide a more internationally consistent, efficient and predictable nuclear licensing regime allowing for standardized solutions, to facilitate significant growth of nuclear capacity and timely licensing of innovative designs.
Actions:
Increase awareness that harmonized regulations and enhanced international cooperation are compatible with regulatory independence and national sovereignty.
Strengthen current industry activities towards the harmonization of regulatory processes.
Develop a coherent roadmap to a more internationally consistent regulatory system and international design acceptance by raising the level of international activities by regulators and governments.

14. Create an effective safety paradigm
Create an effective safety paradigm focusing on genuine public wellbeing, where the health, environmental and safety benefits of nuclear are valued when compared with other energy sources.

15. Create an effective safety paradigm
Create an effective safety paradigm focusing on genuine public wellbeing, where the health, environmental and safety benefits of nuclear are valued when compared with other energy sources.
Actions:
Focus nuclear advocacy on the role of nuclear energy in clean energy systems of the future.
Improve perception and build trust through stakeholder engagement.
Outreach to policymakers and the public on the risks and benefits of nuclear power compared with other energy sources.
Regulatory authorities and the nuclear industry to incorporate and put into effect the international consensus on the risks from low levels of radiation exposure.
