Strengthening and Harmonizing Quality Management Systems. The IAEA developed a new set of Safety Standards that establishes requirements and provide guidance for applying an integrated Management System for facilities and activities. The new standards replace the IAEA 50-C-Q Code on Quality Assurance for Safety in Nuclear Power Plants and other Nuclear Installations, as well as the related 14 Safety Guides contained in the Safety Series No.50-C/SG-Q (1996) [1].

Achieving Excellence in Managing Human Resources in the Nuclear Field. The nuclear field, comprising industry, government authorities, various regulators, research and development organizations, and educational institutions, relies heavily on a specialized highly trained and motivated workforce for its sustainability. Entering the nuclear power world provides a major challenge due to the need to develop human resources and to ensure competent workforce. Even for mature organizations, an ageing workforce and the risk of losing accumulated nuclear knowledge and experience are already serious challenges. We pay due attention to the support to Member States in acquiring and effective use of human resources for the entire life cycle of nuclear facilities, including those countries embarking on a new programme.
