Nuclear Energy Series
Lumir Nachmilner Waste Technology Section, Member of the Document Coordination Team Presented to the International Conference on Management of Spent Fuel from Nuclear Power Reactor, 3 June 2010 IAEA International Atomic Energy Agency
Why Nuclear Energy Series
• • • • Earlier all NE reports were TECDOC’s or TRS Consecutive numbering Mixing between subjects No structure No revision process • • • • Nuclear Energy Series Organise the reports by subject Organise the reports by level of advice Improve the quality by a structured production and consultation process and regular revisions Ensure consistency with other documents in information and messages through this process
IAEA
NE Series Documents
• Provide advice for those either planning or implementing nuclear activities (mainly nuclear power) • Based on Best Practices in the MS • Building on expertise in MS as represented in SAGNE TWGs and their nominees

Structured production and consultation process
Document Coordination Team – to ensure internal scrutiny and harmonization • Representatives from NE Divisions, NS and NA dpt’s • Provides advice at different stages – DPP- Final report External experts – to ensure best knowledge • Produce reports SAGNE and Technical Working Groups - to ensure technical quality and MS involvement • Reviews final draft of top level documents • 300 experts from 50 Member States and 5 international organizations Publication Committee • Ensures IAEA harmonization and quality requirements
IAEA
Ensuring harmony with safety standards
Basic principles agreed between DDG NE and NS • • • • Safety Standards provide boundary conditions for NE documents regarding safety No development of Safety Standards in NE documents NE responsible that if Safety Standards are reproduced they should be updated as appropriate NS represented in NE DCT - should participate in the review at various stages to ensure harmony with safety standards
IAEA
Summary
• • • • NES developed to structure NE publications, improve their quality and ensure harmonization A comprehensive process developed to ensure highest level technical input from the Member States and internal IAEA coordination The NES is complementary to Safety and Security Series and has a different purpose The purpose of the NES documents is to provide advice for those planning or implementing nuclear power, i.e. normally industry and research organizations, but also policy makers and financers
