Challenges Faced by Technical and Scientific Support Organizations (TSOs) in Enhancing Nuclear Safety and Security: Proceedings Series - International Atomic Energy Agency
The global nuclear safety and security framework (GNSSF) provides a conceptual structure and guidelines for achieving and maintaining a high level of safety and security at nuclear facilities and in nuclear related activities around the world. Technical and scientific support organizations (TSOs) play an essential role in sustaining the GNSSF by providing assistance to regulatory bodies in establishing and maintaining nuclear and radiological programmes with a strong safety and security component built on a sound technical and scientific basis. Since 2007, the IAEA has held a series of international conferences examining the role played by TSOs in their support of regulatory bodies and the nuclear industry. The first conference, held in Aix-en-Provence, France, in 2007, provided a forum for TSOs, international organizations and experts to discuss — and develop a common understanding of — the roles, responsibilities, needs and opportunities of TSOs. The second conference, held in 2010 in Tokyo, focused on international cooperation and networking among TSOs, and the roles of TSOs in the regulatory process and in capacity building in Member States considering embarking on a nuclear power programme. The third conference, held in 2014 in Beijing, examined the role of TSOs in the light of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident. The fourth conference in this series, the International Conference on Challenges Faced by Technical and Scientific Support Organizations (TSOs) in Enhancing Nuclear Safety and Security: Ensuring Effective and Sustainable Expertise, held in Brussels in October 2018, highlighted the importance of scientific and technical capabilities to support regulatory decision making for enhanced nuclear and radiation safety and security, and explored solutions for the development, maintenance and enhancement of such capacities, especially in embarking countries. In particular, the conference promoted the self-assessment methodology developed by the IAEA to support Member States in developing their technical and scientific capabilities on the basis of the information in Technical and Scientific Support Organizations Providing Support to Regulatory Functions (IAEA-TECDOC-1835), published in 2018. This publication includes a summary of the conference, the opening addresses and invited papers, and the Conference President’s report, as well as the conclusions and deliberations of the meeting. The supplementary files, available on-line, contain the contributed papers and respective posters, the list of participants and the presentations that were submitted with the invited papers. The IAEA wishes to thank the contributors involved in the preparation of this publication. The IAEA officers responsible for this publication were L. Guo and K. Ben Ouaghrem of the Office of Safety and Security Coordination.
