  1. CN-177/32 SARRPSafety Analysis Report Review PlanA software based tool to review the safety analysis reports of nuclear power plants against IAEA Safety Standards Developed by NSNI Division, IAEA under the supervision of Mr. Marco Gasparini(PNRA supported in the development under TC-Project PAK/09/028)Prepared by: Mr. Marco Gasparini (IAEA), Mr. Faizan Mansoor (PNRA), Mr. Nasir Mughal (PNRA)

  2. How SARRP Initiated? • Engineering Safety Review Service (ENSARS) Missions have identified the need for a more comprehensive guidance for systematic review • Various countries have adopted the Agency Standards within their regulatory framework and they feel difficulties in applying Agency Standards during their licensing process as a comprehensive guidance document for performing the review/licensing is not available.

  3. How SARRP Initiated? (cont.) • Different experts perform review differently on a similar task. Therefore, it was felt necessary to harmonize the review process. • There is a need to collect inputs of experience feedback of application of Agency Standards which are not appropriately fed into the revisions

  4. IAEA Initiative • Nuclear Safety and Nuclear Installation (NSNI) Division took the initiative for development of SARRP and designated Mr. Marco GASPARINI as a team leader for the SARRP Project. • The development activity was supported by: • Experts from Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority (PNRA) • Mr. Bernard Gachot, an expert from France • Mr. Gerry Johns, an expert from United State of America • Mr. László Czibolya, an expert from Hungary • Mr. Recardo, an expert from Italy

  5. Role of PNRA in Development of SARRP PNRA has been involved with IAEA in the development of SARRP from the very beginning i.e., pilot case. A total of 10 PNRA staff members have participated in the project so far in the following chapters: Validation of SARRP is also being conducted at PNRA

  6. Objectives • Developing a comprehensive review procedure and guidelines for the evaluation of Safety Analysis Report to: • Assess if the IAEA safety requirements have been addressed • Determine if the information provided is adequate to assess the safety of installation. • Manage technical issues • Identifying strengths and weaknesses of the Agency Safety Standards • Obtaining feedback on Agency standards for updating and revision process • Collecting feedback on issues and recommendation • Establishing links between • Agency safety standards and internationally recognized nuclear safety documents • Agency safety standards and industrial standards

  7. Software Characteristics The software has the provisions: • User friendly and easy to install on Laptop (portable version) • Management of data at different levels. (SAR sections, Agency Standards, International standards, additional acceptance criteria, reviewers feedback and comments) • Establish links among requirements • Capable to join data prepared on different systems • Team leader & experts have different access • Unauthorised personnel can’t get access • Generation of issue sheets. • Preparation of mission report automatically. • Setting up priorities (urgent, important, etc.) • Feedback from the experts/reviewers on Agency standards for further improvement

  8. Input to SARRP Software SARRP software consists of Internationally recognise documents such as: • Agency Safety Standards (Requirements and Safety Guides) • US NRC Regulatory Guide 1.70 (RG-1.70) • US NRC Standard Review Plan (NUREG-0800) • European Utility Requirements (EUR) • General Design Criteria (GDC)

  9. Development of Technical Guidance(Documentation of Study Results – Table)

  10. SARRP Software

  11. Identification of Safety Requirements Preparation of Word table Input Data to SARRP Software Identification of Relevant Statements from Safety Guides Review of Safety Analysis Report Identification of Relevant Statements from EUR Identification of Relevant Statements from SRP Identification of Missing Information Generation of Safety Issues Review Process of SAR

  12. SARRP OUTPUT Comments and feedback on Safety Standards Generating Issue Sheet

  13. SARRP Application • To perform systematic and complete safety review in the light of IAEA requirements • Compatibility of IAEA standards with other applicable standards • To harmonize and standardize the review process • Applicable mainly to Nuclear Power Plants safety review • Can be applicable to other nuclear facilities i.e. research reactors, nuclear fuel fabrication plants, spent fuel re-processing plants, and spent fuel storage facilities (by adding new data base accordingly) • Living/evolving tool updated with lessons learned from reviews

  14. Benefits of Using SARRP • Provides an excellent platform for database of issues that can be used in future for monitoring the safety of the plant • Enhances the competency of the review • Provide a one- stop shop for review of SAR • Provides consistency in reviews by different teams and for different facility concepts • Use identifies future needs, e.g. new safety guides, and aids in prioritization • Can be used as a training tool for competency development of reviewers especially for countries embarking on NPPs
