Introduction
• Time required for necessary competences and a strong safety culture before operating a nuclear power plant.
• Prime responsibility for safety must rest with the operating organization.
• State has the responsibility for significant investment, to create a robust framework for Safety
• Sustainable Nuclear Safety Infrastructure? • (15 Years)

The introduction of the “Safety Infrastructure” concept by the INSAG
Nuclear Safety Infrastructure is the set of:
- Institutional - Organizational
- Technical elements and conditions established in a Member State to provide a sound foundation for ensuring a sustainable high level of nuclear safety.

Safety Infrastructure and Safety Standards
National infrastructure
for nuclear power
Safety infrastructure
• Safety infrastructure is the entire set of the safety-related elements of the national infrastructure necessary for implementing a nuclear power programme.
• Due to the importance of safety, those safety-related elements have requirements which they shall comply with.
• These requirements are stated in the IAEA Safety Standards.

Main phases of the safety infrastructure development in the lifetime of a nuclear power plant (based on INSAG-22)
Phase 1
Safety infrastructure
before deciding to launch a
nuclear power programme
1~3 years
Phase 5Safety
infrastructure during
decommissio-ning and waste management
phases of a NPP
20~100+ years
Phase 3
Safety infrastructure
before commissioning and operation
7~10 years
Phase 4
Safety infrastructure
during operation of the NPP
40~60 years
Phase 2
Safety infrastructure
before bidding process
3~7 years
Positive decision
Negative decision
The safety-related elements of the rationale for the
negative decision have to be clearly
identified and stated.
Safety Infrastructure Guide (SSG 16) constitutes a “Road-map” to apply the entire set of IAEA safety principles and requirements progressively during Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the implementation of a nuclear power programme.

Human Resource Development
• “The government shall make provision for building and maintaining the competence of all parties having responsibilities in relation to the safety of facilities and activities”.
[Ref: Requirement 11 of GSR Part 1]
• Regulatory body• Operating organization• Research organizations • External support organizations• Industrial organizations • Organizations providing technical services
12

Human Resource Development
• “Senior management shall determine the competence requirements for individuals at all levels and shall provide training or take other actions to achieve the required level of competence”.
[Ref: Requirement 4.3 of GS-R-3]

HRD - Phase 1
• Action 85. The government should consider a strategy for attracting, training and retaining an adequate number of experts to meet the needs of all organizations involved in ensuring safety in a prospective nuclear power programme.
• Action 86. The government should identify competences required in areas relating to nuclear safety and the approximate number of experts needed.
• Action 87. The government should identify national institutions and institutions in other States that could provide education and training and could start training in key areas relating to nuclear safety.
14
21 April 2023
HRD - Phase 1
• Action 88. The government should identify gaps in safety related training at existing training institutions and should plan to strengthen existing training institutions or to establish new training institutions to fill these gaps.
• Action 89. The government should ensure that prospective senior regulators identified by the government and prospective safety experts to be involved in the nuclear power programme gain an understanding of the principles and criteria of nuclear safety.

HRD - Phase 2
• Action 90. All relevant organizations should implement a strategy to attract and retain high quality trained personnel.
• Action 91. All relevant organizations should support the safety related training of their prospective staff in nuclear organizations in other States.
• Action 92. The regulatory body and the operating organization should actively recruit staff so as to ensure capability in areas relevant to safety in a timely manner.
19
21 April 2023
HRD - Phase 2
• Action 93. The government and relevant organizations should establish new institutes or new curricula relevant to safety, as identified in Phase 1.
• Action 94. All relevant organizations should commence the education and training in academic and vocational institutions of the necessary number of persons for ensuring safety.
20
21 April 2023
• Strategy to attract and retain trained high quality personnel should be implemented
• A policy decision should be made regarding implementation of plans of phase 1 ( Availability of experts)
• If there is need for new institutions or extended curricula, such new institutions should be established and curricula should be revised
HRD - Phase 2
21
21 April 2023
• At the beginning of Phase 2, the senior management positions of the regulatory body should be filled
• At the end of Phase 2, the operating organization should have sufficient technical expertise to specify competently the safety requirements in a call for bids for a nuclear power plant, and to evaluate the safety relevant parts of the bids to be received early in Phase 3.
HRD - Phase 2
22
21 April 2023
HRD - Phase 3
• Action 95. The operating organization, the regulatory body and external support organizations should ensure the availability of sufficient competent human resources for the efficient and effective conduct of all activities at the appropriate time.
• Action 97. The regulatory body should review and assess the operating organization’s programme with regard to human resources management.
• Action 98. The government should continue promoting the development of education in the nuclear field so as to continue providing a flow of qualified people in areas relevant to safety.
23
21 April 2023
• Sustained level of manpower in each organization
• Training of RB staff to carry out oversight of construction, equipment manufacturing and, commissioning of the plant.
• Educational institutes need to provide training as required by the relevant org.
• Knowledge Management activities should start in the early phase, in each organizations
