  1. Workshop on Establishing National Infrastructure for Radiation Safety IAEA Safety Standards Overview

  2. IAEA Safety Functions IAEA Statute (Article III.A.6) • “To establish or adopt… [in consultation with…] standards of safety for the protection of health and minimization of danger to life and property” • “…and to provide for the application of these standards”

  3. IAEA Safety StandardsVISION • The IAEA safety standards seen as the global reference for nuclear, radiation protection, radioactive waste and transport safety • Used by Member States to deliver consistent levels of safety for the protection of workers, the public and the environment

  4. Knowledge Base Establishing Safety Standards Conventions & International Instruments Rendering Safety Review Services / Appraising Compliance Networking Feedback Promoting E&T Fostering Information Exchange Supporting TC programs Providing for Application of Standards Safety Standards as an Element of the Global Safety Regime

  5. IAEA Safety Standards • Promote consistency • Help to provide assurance that nuclear and radiation related technologies are used safely • Facilitate international technical cooperation, commerce and trade • Provide support for States in meeting their international obligations • Provide a basis for States to demonstrate their performance in fulfilling these obligations.

  6. History Safe Transport of Radioactive Material BSS for Radiation Protection Safe Handling of Radioisotopes NUSS Programme Basic Safety Standards 1958 1961 1962 1974 1996

  7. History (cont’d) Unified Safety Fundamentals Action Plan Overall Structure Commission and Committees CSS COMMISSION ON SAFETY STANDARDS NUSSC RASSC WASSC TRANSSC 2004 2006 1996 2003

  8. History (cont’d) Long Term Structure New Format 2008 2010 2011

  9. Status of the IAEA Safety Standards • Safety Standards are not binding on Member States, but may be adopted by them. • Safety Standards are binding • for IAEA’s own activities. • on States in relations to operations assisted by the IAEA. • on States wishing to enter into project agreements IAEA. However...

  10. underlying principles aimed at politicians and regulatory authorities Safety Fundamentals specify obligations and responsibilities (“shall”) Safety Requirements Safety Guides recommendations on meeting requirements (“should”) IAEA SAFETY STANDARDS

  11. Governmental and Regulatory Framework

  12. Fundamental Safety Principles • Fundamental Safety Principles establishes the fundamental safety objective and principles of protection and safety. • Published in 2006 • Jointly sponsored by several international organizations • 10 Fundamental Safety Principles for protection against exposure to ionizing radiation

  13. Safety Requirements • Establish the requirements that must be met to ensure the protection of people and the environment, both now and in the future.

  14. Governmental, Legal and Regulatory Framework for Safety – GSR, Part 1 • GSR, Part 1, published Oct. 2010 • Supersedes GS-R-1, legal and Governmental Infrastructure for Nuclear, Radiation, Radioactive Waste and Transport Safety

  15. Governmental, Legal and Regulatory Framework for Safety • Establishes international consensus requirements to apply the fundamental safety objectives and principles establishes in SF-1, the IAEA Safety Fundamentals

  16. Governmental, Legal and Regulatory Framework for Safety • Covers all phases of the lifetime of facilities and duration of activities until release from regulatory control • Does not apply to military or defence related activities unless so decided by the Member State, nor does it apply to nuclear security

  17. Radiation Protection and Safety of Radiation Sources (BSS) • A key international standard since 1960 co-sponsored by all relevant international organizations • Revision finalized end of 2011 (GSR Part 3) • Requirements covering thematic areas of radiation safety • Exposure situations • Governmental Regulation • National Infrastructures • Regulatory Body

  18. Safety Guides • Provide recommendations and guidance on how to comply with the requirements

  19. Regulatory Control of Radiation Sources (GS-G-1.5) • Legal Framework • Organization of the Regulatory Body • Principal functions and activities of the Regulatory Body • Development of Regulations and Guides • Notification and Authorization • Inspection and Enforcement • Investigation of Accidents • Dissemination of Information • Principles of Quality Management

  20. Other Relevant Safety Guides • RS-G-1.7 Application of the Concepts of Exclusion, Exemption and Clearance • RS-G-1.9 Categorization of Radioactive Sources • RS-G-1.10 Safety of Radiation Generators and Sealed Radioactive Sources

  21. Other International InstrumentsCode of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources • Published in 2004 • Directed to National Governments and Regulatory Bodies • Recommendations for the regulatory control of radioactive sources • Associated Guidance for the import/export of radioactive sources • National register of sources • Source categorization • National strategy for disused sources • Orphan sources… • Member States encouraged to formally commit to the Code and its Guidance through a letter to the IAEA DG

  22. Under Development • Safety Guide on Establishing a National Radiation Safety Infrastructure • Safety Report on Management Regulatory Body Competence • Code of Conduct on the Transboundary Movement of Radioactive Material Inadvertently Incorporated into Scrap Metal and Semi-Finished Products of the Metal Recycling Industries

  23. Other Safety Related Publications • Safety Report Series • IAEA-TECDOC Series • Radiological Assessment Reports Series • International Nuclear Safety Group’s INSAG Series • Technical Reports Series • IAEA Services Series • Training Course Series • Practical Radiation Technical Manual
