The objective of the ANSN project is to pool and share existing and new technical knowledge and practical experience to further improve the safety of nuclear installations in Asia.

The ANSN computer network is operated in a coordinated yet decentralised manner with 8 ANSN National Centres in China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The web site associated to each National Centre provides access to important nuclear safety knowledge and serves as a portal to other ANSN sites. Searching the ANSN is done either locally or through the IAEA web site.
