9 Project on Safety Management Systems for Nuclear Facilities Safety Culture for Nuclear Facilities Safety Management Systems (SMS) for Nuclear Facilities To identify key aspects of safety management systems for nuclear facilities To develop self-assessment/peer-review methodologies for nuclear safety management By mutual agreement, to undertake peer reviews at designated institutes in project countries Peer reviews conducted at following institutes and reactors 2010 RSG-GAS, BATAN, Indonesia 2011 RTP, Nuclear Malaysia 2012 HANARO, KAERI, Korea 2014 BTRR, BAEC, Bangladesh 2015 DNRR, VINATOM, Vietnam 2016 TRR-1/M1, TINT, Thailand 9

10 Project evaluation of Safety Management Systems for Nuclear Facilities This project performed six peer reviews of facilities in Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Thailand between 2010 and Reviewed facilities enhanced their safety management systems regarding safety monitoring, document control, aging management, and housekeeping according to suggestions for potential improvement. The project has contributed to enhancing nuclear safety effectively in FNCA member countries by sharing good practices and knowledge. 10

11 Mo-99 from reactors The worldwide supply of Mo-99 relies on a limited number of research reactors and processing facilities. 11

12 Project on Research Reactor Network Information exchange on RI production and supply in each country, aimed at building a regional network for the stable supply of medical RI, Mo ~ Activities intended to establish a regional network for stable production and supply of medical RI Development of n-gamma technology for Mo-99 production Sharing experience for designing new multipurpose research reactors in member countries International cooperation for sharing multi-purpose research reactors in the region 12

13 2016 OECD-NEA Study: 99 Mo Capacity Current demand ( day Ci 99 Mo/week EOP) and demand +35% ORC v total irradiation capacity and total processing capacity projects delayed, : Scenario C Irradiation Capacity Processing Capacity Demand growth +35% ORC Demand growth w/o ORC Note: Projections assume 50% of assessed new projects will succeed 1 year later than scheduled and no unscheduled outages of existing facilities Source: 2016 Medical Isotope Supply Review: 99 Mo/ 99m Tc Market Demand and Production Capacity Projection

14 Project on Nuclear Activation Analysis (NAA) With neutron activation analysis (NAA), multiple elements can be determined with high accuracy for a common and single sample, and even solid samples can be non-destructively analyzed Introduction of k0 standardization method in each country, common analysis of SPM (suspended particulate matter) establishment of k0 standardization method in each country NAA for geochemical samples, food samples, and marine sediments 2015~ (1) NAA of PM2.5 for environmental monitoring in Asian region (2) NAA of rare-earth elements for resource exploration in Asian region 14

15 Project on Research Reactor Utilization Improve research reactor utilization in each FNCA member state. The following topics will be discussed in three years. a. Nuclear Activation Analysis (NAA) b. Isotope Production including new isotopes c. Neutron Scattering d. Nuclear Science e. Boron Neutron Capture Therapy, Neutron Radiography f. Material Research g. New Research Reactor h. Human Resource Development NAA project and Research Reactor Network Project have been merged. 15

16 Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Boron Neutron Capture Therapy 10 B (n,α,γ) 7 Li binary technique high LET particles BNCT could become useful for highly-fatal tumours: Extended (e.g. liver, lung) Radioresistant (melanoma) Localized near vital organs (glioblastoma) 16

17 Project on Radiation Safety and Radioactive Waste Management SRSM(Spent Radiation Source Management), TENORM(Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Management) Decommissioning and Clearance Radiation Safety and Radioactive Waste Management Nuclear/Radiological Emergency Preparedness and Response, 2017~ low level radioactive waste disposal/long term storage facilities 17

18 New Direction of Nuclear Security and Safeguards Project CDM agreed to begin new phases of Nuclear Security and Safeguards with the following comments in March Nuclear forensics, cyber security, and the security of radioactive sources should be intensively discussed for three years in order to build an effective international mechanism for nuclear materials security in Asia, which is urgently expected in the world. Human resource development in nuclear security is strongly expected to be promoted through this project. 18
