Safety improvements found after follow-up INSARR missions (2010-2020)
The findings from INSARR missions also indicate continued safety enhancements in several areas, including:
- Completeness and effectiveness of training and qualification programmes of reactor operating personnel;
- Effective use of operational and maintenance procedures;
- Consideration of ageing of reactor’s structures, systems and components and minimization of radioactive waste generation in design and operation of new experimental devices and modification projects;
- Adequate and improved planning and implementation of maintenance and in-service inspection programme;
- Progressing in establishing an effective ageing management programme;
- Improvement of radiological classification and work-place monitoring programme;
- Initiation and implementation of periodic safety reviews.
