9 Safety of NPP for new Nuclear Country Decision of a country to embark on a nuclear power programme entails: a long term commitment to the peaceful, safe and secure use of nuclear technology based on a sustainable organizational, regulatory, social, technological and economic infrastructure. Assurance of safe operation comprehensive infrastructure and proper maintenance throughout the duration of the nuclear power programme. Ensuring that new nuclear countries follow appropriate industrial and regulatory approaches and implement adequate legal procedures will be a duty of the international community and, in particular, of the vendor countries. (see Nuclear Energy Outlook, OECD/NEA, 2008 and IAEA Vision 20/20, 2008) Various levels of capability, ranging from no experience, to experience with operation of research reactors 9

10 Safety of NPP for new Nuclear Country years time period from initial consideration of building a nuclear power plant to actually beginning commercial operation implement a systematic programme for developing or upgrading the nuclear safety infrastructure require a major commitment to provide infrastructure and resources that are sustained over the duration of the nuclear programme IAEA Senior Regulators Meeting (2008) the importance of establishing at the earliest opportunity an independent, competent and well resourced regulatory body, the recognition that regulatory bodies of vendor countries could have new obligations, i.e. to establish partnership with the regulatory body of buyer countries the need to establish partnerships, (rather than provide assistance ), at several levels: Multilateral with the use of IAEA Safety Standards and related Safety Services Bilateral with vendor country and even beyond 10

11 Nuclear Safety Infrastructure Global agenda in the emerging nuclear market is to provide a sound foundation for ensuring a sustainable high level of nuclear safety. Every country considering embarking on a nuclear power programme should establish the nuclear safety infrastructure as the set of institutional, organizational, and technical elements and conditions Nuclear Safety Infrastructure is the set of: - institutional - organizational - technical elements and conditions established in a Member State to provide a sound foundation for ensuring a sustainable high level of nuclear safety. Due to the importance of safety, those elements have requirements which they shall comply with. These requirements are stated in the IAEA Safety Standards. 11

12 Role of Organizations for Safety of NPP Government responsible for the decision making process that leads to the implementation of a national nuclear programme immediately start to train the personnel who will implement it prepare the nuclear legislation, establish the regulatory framework, and create an effective independent regulatory body organize and conduct an extensive national advisory and consultative process so as to ensure involvement by the general public and the stakeholders. Regulatory body develop national safety regulations and verify compliance with these regulations and implement an enforcement policy Operator provide organizational arrangements for safe nuclear power plant operation train the plant personnel to operate the plant safely ensure that the plant systems and equipment are maintained in good condition. Vendor adequate safety standards, consistent with international safety standards, are integrated into the design of the plant quality of the structures and components meets the specified requirements knowledge is transferred to the prospective operator so as to enable sustainable safety performance during all phases of the plant s life 12

15 Introduction of IRISS IRISS (Integrated Regulatory Infrastructure Support Service) is developed by KINS Advisory package to provide the guidance and consultation on the establishment of a regulatory infrastructure and to build up the competency of a regulatory body Designed and developed on the basis of the IAEA safety fundamentals, requirements, and guides Fully proven by applying to the regulatory activities for planning, design, construction, commissioning, operation, and decommissioning of nuclear installations Qualified education and training programs by the IAEA Well-documented safety standards and advanced safety assessment tool sets 15

16 Introduction of IRISS What does IRISS consist of? A roadmap for a long term nuclear regulatory infrastructure and specific implementation program to be taken during the lifetime of nuclear power plants and research reactors Education and training program to ensure that the personnel has the regulatory competence Technical support for safety review and inspection of nuclear facilities IT-based regulatory supporting tools to manage knowledge, experience, and information A Toolkit composed of solutions for action items that should be taken in each phase IRISS has the flexibility to be customized according to the request of a country. 16

17 Development Process of IRISS Survey IAEA s publications on safety infrastructure In-depth review INSAG-22, DS424, NG-G-3.1 of IAEA 1 st Screening: Selection of action items for Regulatory Infrastructure Criteria : Common requirements of IRRS (Module I ~ VIII) Criteria : Responsibilities of stakeholders (GOV/RB) Develop detailed service programs for regulatory infrastructure C: Consultation, D: Safety standard, E&T: Education & Training, I: Inspection, R: Safety review, S: IT-based system Group the service provided by IRISS (C, D, E&T, I, R, S) Based on the KINS activities and experiences 2 nd Screening: Consolidation of action items for Regulatory Infrastructure 17

30 Supporting Activities - Others Egypt (AEA/NCNSRC) MOU between Foreign Ministries in June 2010 to provide education & training for Egyptian regulators capacity building Established a dedicated education and training program ( 10~ 12) The first training course has started this week AAEA & FNRBA Member Countries MOUs were concluded in September 2010 during the IAEA GC Training workshops to be started early next year. 30

31 Concluding Remarks The role of international organizations becomes more important Demands are rapidly increasing as many countries are embarking on or expanding their nuclear power programs. Coordination by and cooperation under the international organizations are essential. Cooperation with regional networks should be strengthened Considering the demands are increasing continuously, the future cooperation requires efficiency and effectiveness. Cooperation with regional networks, rather than individual member countries, is to be explored. KINS is committed to sharing our experience and participating in the international collaboration to ensure global nuclear safety. 31
