IAEA role in Nuclear Safety

IAEA promotes nuclear safety in all nuclear facilities and activities, including decommissioning, waste management and environmental remediation. Key elements to promote nuclear safety:

  • IAEA defines a universally applicable safety regime through the

development of safety standards (SS)

  • IAEA promotes the application of safety standards, through IAEA peer

review and advisory services

  • IAEA promotes international cooperation and transfer of knowledge and

experience to developing countries

  • IAEA supports the Convention on Nuclear Safety and the Joint

Convention on Safety of Spent Fuel and Safety of Waste Management

Background of Peer Review Missions to F1 Decommissioning

 “Mid-and-Long-Term Roadmap” was adopted by the Gov. of Japan and TEPCO Council on Mid-to-Long Term Response for Decommissioning in December 2011  The Roadmap includes description of the main steps and activities to be implemented for preparing and implementing the decommissioning of the TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi NPS  Roadmap revised in July 2012, June 2013 and June 2015  Government of Japan asked the IAEA to organize International Peer Reviews of the Mid-and-Long-Term Roadmap

slide-9
SLIDE 9

 To provide an independent review of activities associated with the decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi NPS. In particular:

  • Provide advice and commentary on safety and technological

aspects

  • Provide advice to improve planning and implementation of pre-

decommissioning and decommissioning activities at 1F NPS

  • Facilitate sharing of good practices and lessons learned with

international community

Common objective of the missions on Decommissioning F1

Main conclusions

Decommissioning F-D NPP is a challenging task that requires significant resources and innovative technologies Japan developed its efforts towards decommissioning the plant promptly after accident and has achieved good progress in its strategy and plans, and allocated necessary resources GoJ and TEPCO evolved to a more proactive attitude to address the many difficulties at the site Situation is still complex and there are still some challenging issues to be resolved to achieve a long-term stable condition of the plant. Japan adopted well-oriented set of measures to deal with it

Conclusion

  • Decommissioning F1 is a challenging task that requires

allocation of special resources

  • Japan started its efforts towards Decommissioning F1

promptly after accident. Japan has mobilised enormous resources and achieved good progress on D&D F1

  • R&D plans are essential to develop special tools for D&D
  • Strong international cooperation is also essential to collect

best practices for (and from) Decommissioning F1

  • IAEA focal organisation for international cooperation and for

disseminating information. IAEA Safety Standards are the best instrument for benchmarking of D&D plans

  • Coordination between On-site Decommissioning and off-site

Remediation is essential
