  19. 4. Application for Embarking Country in NPPPriorities School on Drafting Regulations SSG-16 recommends that: • Action 30 (Phase 2) • The regulatory body should issue regulations and guides specifying the documentation and procedures necessary in the various steps of the licensing process and inspections to be conducted” • Action 31 (Phase 2) • The regulatory body should specify the safety requirements that should be known for the bidding/contracting process • Action 36 (Phase 3) • The regulatory body should ensure that a fulland comprehensive set of regulations and guides is in place for regulating construction,commissioning and operational activities at the appropriate time

  20. 4. Application for Embarking Country in NPPPriorities Prioritization of regulation development Setting Priorities for the Development of Regulations • Developing a full and comprehensive set of safety regulations complying with the IAEA safety standards: • Majorchallenge • Required a Strategy for prioritizing this development at the appropriate time based on: • Expectations in each Phase (SSG-16) • Needs for the proper implementation of the licensing process and conduct of the other regulatory activities • A plan and a schedule for the development should be developed accordingly

  21. 4. Application for Embarking Country in NPPKey milestones in different phases • Licensing Process • Site evaluation • Radiation Protection • Management system • Design • Basic regulations on • Construction • Manufacturing • Waste Management • Emergency Preparedness Prioritization of regulation development
