One of the main missions of nuclear regulators is to protect the public, and this cannot be completely achieved without public confidence. The more a regulatory process is transparent, the more such confidence will grow. Despite important cultural differences across countries, a number of common features characterise media and public expectations regarding any activity with an associated risk. This workshop identified a common understanding of transparency and main stakeholders' expectations together with a number of conditions and practices aimed at improving the transparency of nuclear regulatory activities.Table of Content : Foreword Executive Summary Opening Session -Welcome Address by Dr. Kazuo Sato (NSRA) -Address by METI Deputy Minister Mr. Kozo Yamamoto -Address by NEA Director-General Luis Ech??varri  -Address by NISA Director-General Dr. Kenkichi Hirose -Objective of this Workshop by Dr. Peter Storey  SESSION 1: UNDERSTANDING TRANSPARENCY -Openness and Transparency: The Road to Public Confidence by Gregory Jaczko (NRC)  -Through a Glass Darkly  The Meaning of Transparency by John Loy (ARPANSA)  -Transparency Views by Media by Yojiro Ikawa (Japan) -Transparency as an Element of Public Confidence by Ho Kee Kim (KINS)  SESSION 2: STAKEHOLDER EXPECTATIONS REGARDING TRANSPARENCY  -Lessons Learnt on Stakeholder Involvement on Decision Making Process by Kunihisa Soda (NSC)  -Perspectives of OECD/NEA on Stakeholders' Involvement by Takanori Tanaka (NEA)  -Lessons Learnt by US Nuclear Plant Operators by Walter Hill (NEI)  -Public Trust and Better Communication is Still Needed (Hankyoreh Newspaper) by Hong Sup Cho (Republic of Korea) -Expectations of Stakeholders  Voice from the Location by Hiroo Shinada (Japan)  SESSION 3: CONDITIONS FOR ENSURING TRANSPARENCY -Transparency  The French New Framework by Marie-Pierre Comets (ASN)  -Overview of IAEA Safety Standards and Insights from Regulatory Review Services by Lingquan Guo (IAEA) -Legal Framework to Ensure Transparency by.
