Strong Nuclear Safety Infrastructure Needs
• Emerging optimistic and ambitious plans for the development of nuclear energy
• Different situations require customized approaches
• Countries with optimistic plans for the future
• Countries with realistic near term plans to enter nuclear
• Countries expanding their fleet
• Countries extending plant life or decommissioning
• Needs are different, but the prevention of accidents must be a priority for all

Developing a NP programme means 10 to 15 y planning and development before operation and a “100 y commitment”
Three Major Phases• Consideration before decision
• Preparatory work for the construction
• Activities to implement a first NPP

Safety Fundamentals
• Global reference point for the high level of safety required for use of nuclear energy and technology
• Ten principles:1. the prime responsibility for safety must rest
with the operator and the user
2. an effective legal and governmental framework for safety, and a
competent, independent nuclear safety regulatory body with sufficient authority to ensure compliance

GS-R-1
•REGULATORY INDEPENDENCE:
The government shall, through its national legal system, establish and maintain a regulatory body whose task is to regulate facilities and activities for achievement of safety.
The government shall ensure that the regulatory body is effectively independent in its safety related decision making and possesses an adequate measure of functional separation from entities having interests or responsibilities that could unduly influence regulatory decision making.
The government shall ensure that the regulatory body is given the legal authority, competence and resources necessary to fulfil its statutory obligation to regulate facilities and activities.

• Regulatory approach;
• Enhancement of regulatory functions (development of regulations and guides, inspection, enforcement, review and assessment, etc.);
• Development of a comprehensive licensing process;
• Regulatory practices, including the establishment and promotion of international regulatory networks;
• Self-sustainability, including self-assessment

36
Role and Responsibilities of Vendor Countries and Countries Embarking on Nuclear Power to Ensure Long-term Safety
• Nuclear safety is a national responsibility
• International leverage should be enhanced through IAEA actions, bilateral or multilateral arrangements, MDEP initiative, etc.
• Newcomers should include the package of Treaties, Conventions to join the nuclear community.
• Moral responsibilities of Vendor countries and should report to all (CNS) about steps and actions establishing contracts and transferring nuclear technology to nuclear newcomers.
![Page 37: Gustavo Caruso Section Head Regulatory Activities Section Department of Nuclear Safety and Security STRENGTHENING THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR COUNTRIES](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56649e4c5503460f94b425d9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Role and Responsibilities of Vendor Countries and Countries Embarking on Nuclear Power to Ensure Long-term Safety
• Continue with IAEA Safety guides development for countries embarking on nuclear power programmes and mechanisms to reinforce the Global Safety Regime.
• Systematic IAEA tailored review services, IRRS and pre-OSART for countries embarking on nuclear power, as prerequisite at different stages.
• This type of Workshop should be repeated on regular basis,1-2 y
• Next, November, 2009, nuclear newcomers will present their particular situation, difficulties and challenges developing their safety infrastructure to embark on nuclear power.

• Governmental and Regulatory Framework need strong support
• Tasks necessary to establish an effective independent regulatory body need to be carried out by the Member State.
• Licensing process needs to be defined at the early stage
• “How safe is safe enough?” is a national responsibility, the regulatory approach is the key element
• Efforts coordinated are essential in order to be consistent, comprehensive and effective.
