  1. Establishing a Safety Infrastructure for a National Nuclear Power Programme

  2. Increasing number of countries considering the introduction of nuclear power. Need to comply with the IAEA Safety Standards for ensuring safety and enhancing international confidence. Development of the Safety Infrastructure Guide DS424 Roadmap to apply the entire set of IAEA Safety Standards in countries embarking on nuclear power Safety Infrastructure Guide DS424

  3. Extract from DG’s 2008 General Conference speech: “Every country has the right to introduce nuclear power, as well as the responsibility to do it right.” Principle 1: Responsibility for safety Principle 2: Role of government Principle 3: Leadership for safety Position of the IAEA

  4. The safety-related elements of the rationale for the negative decision have to be clearly identified and stated. Negative decision Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Phase 5 Positive decision Safety infrastructure during decommissio-ning and waste management phases of a NPP Safety infrastructure before commissioning and operation Safety infrastructure during operation of the NPP Safety infrastructure before bidding process 3~7 years 7~10 years 40~60 years 20~100+ years Main phases of the safety infrastructure development in the lifetime of a nuclear power plant (based on INSAG-22) Phase 1 Safety infrastructure before deciding to launch a nuclear power programme 1~3 years Safety Infrastructure Guide (DS424) constitutes a “Road-map” to apply theentire set of IAEA safety principles and requirements progressively during Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the implementation of a nuclear power programme.

  5. The central role of the Safety Infrastructure Guide DS424 IAEA Nuclear Power Support Group’sBROCHURE International Nuclear Safety Group’sREPORT-22 FUNDAMENTALS REQUIREMENTS “Milestones” document IAEA NG-G-3.1 GUIDES IAEA SAFETY STANDARDS

  6. The main 3 roles of DS424 1. Road-map to gradually apply the IAEA Safety Standards.

  7. The Structure of the Safety Infrastructure Guide DS424 The Safety Infrastructure Guide (DS424) is structured in accordance with the IAEA Safety Requirements. Primarily used to help in enhancing newcomers’ Safety Infrastructure and Capacity Building. Providing and facilitating international cooperation and coordination for building nuclear safety infrastructure.

  8. GS-R-1 GS-R-3 BSS-115 GSR Part 4 WS-R-5 GSR Part 5 NS-R-2 GS-R-2 NS-R-1 NS-R-3 TS-R-1 The 20 chapters of theSAFETY INFRASTRUCTUREGuide DS424

  9. Some steps important to safety described in the Safety Infrastructure Guide Ready to make a decision on whether or not to introduce nuclear power Ready to invite bids Ready to commission and operate the first NPP Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 1~3 years 3~7 years 7~10 years Contract Issuance of the nuclear law Initial site survey Issuance of safety requirements needed for bid specification Application for construction license Environmental impact assessment Issuance of the construction licence Safety evaluation of the bids First concrete Preparation of safety documentation Fuel delivery Establishing the basic regulatory framework Assessment by the regulatory body Site preparation Construction phase

  10. Involvement of the Government Involvement of the Regulatory Body in nuclear power activities establishment Involvement of the Operating Organization establishment Involvement of the main entities Ready to make a decision on whether or not to introduce nuclear power Ready to invite bids Ready to commission and operate the first NPP Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 1~3 years 3~7 years 7~10 years

  11. 2. Terms of reference to tailor the Safety Review Services. The main 3 roles of DS424 1. Road-map to gradually apply the IAEA Safety Standards.

  12. Importance of coordination IAEA safety review missions based on internationally agreed safety standards are well established and are the best tools to build up confidence on the capacity of a country to develop safe nuclear energy.

  13. Coordinating Safety reviews and Holistic reviews (INIR missions) Safety peer reviews against the Safety Standards(to address the safety-related infrastructure) SitingMission IRRS Mission Safety Missionspre-OSART, IRRS… Ph 1 Ph 2 Ph 3 Operation INIR Mission INIR Mission Holistic reviews against the Milestones (Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review)

  14. Integrated Regulatory Review Service I R R S IRRS Objectives • Promote sharing ofexperienceand exchange of lessons learnt among senior regulators • Promote the application of the IAEA Safety Requirements and harmonization of regulatory approaches among Member States

  15. Integrated Regulatory Review Service I R R S IRRS Objectives • Provide requesting Member States with an objective review (Technical and Policy issues) of their regulatory practices with respect tointernational safety standards • Provide the host country withrecommendations, suggestionsfor improvements

  16. Integrated Regulatory Review Service I R R S IAEA IRRS PROGRAMME • Romania, IRRS, UK, France, 2006 • Australia, Japan, Mexico, 2007 • Spain, Ukraine, Germany, 2008 • France (F), Canada, UK (2nd Mission), Russia, Vietnam, 2009 • Japan (F), Iran, China, United States, Poland, Pakistan, 2010 • Switzerland, UAE, Slovenia, Spain (F), Korea, Slovakia, (+F) 2011 • Sweden, Bulgaria, Finland, Czech Rep., Embarking Countries, (+F), 2012 • Hungary, Belgium, Netherlands, Brazil, South Africa, Embarking Countries ….. Follow-ups, (2013/14) • + Ongoing Requests from Smaller Programmes

  17. 3. Training framework for embarking countries. The main 3 roles of DS424 1. Road-map to gradually apply the IAEA Safety Standards. 2. Terms of reference to tailor the Safety Review Services.

  18. Phasing the Training Programme Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Operation M1: decision M2: call for tenders M3: commissioning Before contract After contract Most of the training provided by the vendor and by the RB that have licensed a similar facility IAEA plays a more relevant role

  19. Conclusion: the main 3 roles of the Safety Infrastructure Guide DS424 1.Road-map to gradually apply the IAEA Safety Standards. 2. Terms of reference to tailor the Safety Review Services. 3.Training framework for embarking countries.

  20. Support to Member States on Nuclear Safety • PHASE 1 • Workshops on Safety Infrastructure (Guide DS424) • Experts Missions on Siting of NPPs • Site Evaluation Review Service • Expert Missions on Governmental and Regulatory • Framework • Workshops on Management of Safety • Expert Safety Missions on Capacity Building

  21. Support to Member States on Nuclear Safety • PHASE 2 • Expert Safety Missions on Capacity Building • Integrated Regulatory Review Service (IRRS) • PHASE 3 • Expert Safety Missions on Capacity Building • OSART (NPP Construction)
