Purpose of Inspection Purpose of inspection activities are to: • Verify compliance with regulations and license • Verify compliance with implementing processes and procedures • Verify adequacy of personnel • Ensure licensee is identifying and correcting problems ۱۱ ENRRA
ENRRA Responsibilities & Authorities for Inspection Establish regulations and issue guidance; Enter the premises of reactors at any time; Require the preparation of, access to and submission of reports and documents from operators as necessary; Communicate information, findings, recommendations and conclusions from regulatory inspections to other governmental bodies or interested parties, including high level officials; Communicate inspection finding to operator; Enforce compliance with its requirements and license conditions. ۱۲ ENRRA
Operator Responsibilities gives inspection personnel free and prompt access to all areas. provides regulatory inspectors with free and prompt access to all personnel at the reactor and to all relevant documentation. makes appropriate arrangements to provide personnel conducting a regulatory inspection with access to contractors & consultants respond to ENRRA finding and take appropriate actions. ۱۳ ENRRA
Types of Inspection ENRRA conducts two types of inspections : 1- Planned ( routine) inspection, including: • Reactor OLC’s • Approved requirements • Reactor documents • Operator’s overall performance • Operational experience and lessons learned within the reactor or in other countries ۱٤ ENRRA
Types of Inspection ( cont.) 2- Reactive ( Non-routine ) inspection are initiated by ENRRA in response to an unexpected, unplanned situation or incident in order to assess its significance and implication and the adequacy of corrective actions. Licensee event report should be used for assistance in preparing the inspection. The information within the report includes: • abnormal test results; • radioactive releases; • any violation of operational limits and conditions; • modifications and corrective actions; • unexpected exposure of personnel; • unavailability of safety related equipment; • any other situation giving rise to potential hazards; • events which may lead to misinterpretation by the public. ۱٥ ENRRA
Types of Inspection ( cont.) Announced and unannounced inspection: An announced inspection is an inspection of which the operator has been notified in advance by ENRRA. The timing of the announcement may vary according to the circumstances of the inspection to be performed. Unannounced inspections are that the actual state of the reactor and the way in which it is being operated can be observed. Inspections may be carried out at any time of the day or night so as to provide a more complete picture of the situation at the reactor. ۱٦ ENRRA
Inspection area & activities Inspection area activities • Main control room Operation • Shift turnover • Facility walk down • Chemistry control • Start up and shutdown procedure and check list • Operation log book • Fuel management • Execution of Operating procedures • Operating procedures Sampling review including all procedures for normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences and accident conditions. • Usability and adequacy of the procedure • Procedure updating ۱۷ ENRRA
