IRRS mission to UK

1. IRRS mission to UK Overview IAEA-ENSREG Workshop

2. Headlines ONR has received a full scope IRRS over 3 parts All bar one of the 32 findings outstanding from previous IRRS were considered closed by the 2013 IRRS New areas such Waste Management, Decommissioning, Radiation Sources, Occupational Radiation Protection and the UK response to the events at Fukushima were reviewed by the 2013 IRRS Policy issues were also followed up and reviewed ONR are now addressing the new (25) findings raised by the 2013 IRRS

3. History 2003 – Initiation of Modular Mission to UK 2006 – First Mission to UK Focus on New Build/NPP 2009 – Second Mission to UK Self Assessment Wider scope NPP/Fuel Cycle Added Inspection/Enforcement, Added Emergency Preparedness

4. 2013 IRRS Scope Formal follow-up of the findings from the 2006 and 2009 missions; Modules 5 to 9 for waste management and decommissioning facilities; Review of occupational radiation protection, within facilities and activities regulated by ONR; Review of the control of radioactive discharges and environmental monitoring, with regards to ONR responsibilities only; Radiation Sources; The Fukushima module. Self Assessment for the above.

5. Simple IRRS Programme Timeline – Feb 2013 Mission Findings Action Plan approved Text drafted for Mission Findings Action Plan DCI Counterpart Closeout Review Meeting Text drafted regarding all previous findings FINAL Closeout Review Meeting Mar Apr May Jun July Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb • All Self Assessment Questions Answered MISSION Self Assessment and Previous Finding report submitted to IAEA Preparations Complete Final Report published All areas for Improvement identified Deadline for Advanced Reference Material Policy Write Ups GSR Pt1 Review List of ONR Processes Text drafted for Self Assessment Action Plan

6. 2013 Follow Up Aspects Process developed to assess progress and close out 2009 action plan – large team, thin spread Submitted as Advanced Reference Material Same process for policy observations Same process for 2009 self assessment findings Independent audit and international peer review From 2009, around 4 staff years of effort – significant benefit

7. 2013 IRRS resources In addition to follow up post 2009… 3 staff years of technical effort + 1.5 staff years admin Including significant self assessment activity Around €100k of ‘real’ money

8. 2013 IRRS specifics – Preparations No issues with guidance No issues with Prep Meeting, as engaged well prior

9. 2013 IRRS specifics – modular teams Mission team leader continuity Wasted effort covering old ground Scope, specifically ONR responsibilities Status of guides, UK way of working Perhaps need for pre-briefing as well as Preparatory Meeting

10. 2013 IRRS specifics – Self Assessment Great benefit from Self Assessment Need to secure suitable resources and timescales SARIS tool not useful for UK (parallel answering) Retro fitting to SARIS for reporting Little acknowledgement in report of follow up aspects

11. 2013 IRRS specifics – ARM Advanced Reference Material easily uploaded to Sharepoint Great benefit in terms of knowledge repository Perception of lack of use prior to Mission (need for Pre-briefing?)

12. 2013 IRRS specifics – Mission itself Findings mostly of great benefit Some already achieved Some of surprise to owners outside ONR Useful pragmatic closure of previous findings (only 1 remained open)

13. 2013 IRRS specifics – Way Forward Action plan approved Would like to give positive messages (now stale?) Ready for and committed to another follow up

14. UK Summary Achieved Transparent, independent, in depth, third party review Could improve Effectiveness of engagement prior to Mission Greater focus on self assessment
