Technical Meeting on the Development of the IAEA’s Power Reactor Information System

The Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) is the world's most comprehensive, authoritative and up-to-date nuclear power reactor database. Developed and maintained by the IAEA for five decades, PRIS provides comprehensive information on the status, design characteristics and operating performance and experience of all nuclear power plants (NPPs) worldwide. The main purpose of PRIS is to foster the evaluation of status and trends in the operating performance of NPPs through standard and customized reports and analysis of subject areas affecting plant performance.

The purpose of this technical meeting is to:

• discuss the main issues and achievements to date in relation to PRIS, as well as future development priorities;
• provide an overview of recent changes to the system, including the new reporting software;
• present key areas of, and the latest trends in, nuclear power development and performance in Member States; and 
• discuss how PRIS should reflect those trends.

Given the topic of the event, participation is limited to PRIS liaison officers and data providers who are directly involved in PRIS maintenance and development. Participation is solicited from representatives of NPPs and regulatory bodies, utilities, technical support organizations, developers, research organizations and international organizations engaged in this field. To ensure maximum effectiveness in the exchange of information, participants should be persons actively involved in the subject matter of the event.
