Safety Infrastructure Guide DS424Safety Infrastructure Guide DS424

Increasing number of countries considering

the introduction of nuclear power.

Need to comply with the IAEA Safety Standards for

ensuring safety and enhancing international

confidence.

Development of the Safety Infrastructure Guide

DS424

Roadmap to apply the entire set of IAEA Safety Standards in countries

embarking on nuclear power


Extract from DG’s 2008 General Conference speech: “Every country has the right to introduce nuclear power, as well as the responsibility to do it right.”

Position of the IAEAPosition of the IAEA

Principle 1: Responsibility for safety

Principle 2: Role of government

Principle 3: Leadership for safety

Positive decision

Negative decision

The safety-related elements of the rationale for the negative decision have to

be clearly identified and

stated.

Safety Infrastructure Guide (DS424) constitutes a “Road-map” to apply the entire set of IAEA safety principles and requirements progressively during Phases 1, 2 and 3 of the implementation of a nuclear power programme.

The Structure of the Safety The Structure of the Safety Infrastructure Guide DS424Infrastructure Guide DS424

The Safety Infrastructure Guide (DS424) is structured in

accordance with the IAEA Safety Requirements.

Primarily used to help in enhancing newcomers’ Safety Infrastructure

and Capacity Building.

Providing and facilitating international cooperation and

coordination for building nuclear safety infrastructure.

Importance of coordinationImportance of coordination

IAEA safety review missions based on internationally agreed safety standards are well established and are the best tools to build up confidence on the capacity of a country to develop safe nuclear energy.
