Research reactors: FORO, supported by IAEA, to create regulatory inspection manual

​

Experts from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Spain and the IAEA met 26 February to 2 March in San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, to launch work on the manual. References used in the development of the manual include an IAEA training manual on regulatory inspection programmes for research reactors that is under development.

As some research reactors in the FORO area have operated for many years, the document will place particular emphasis on inspecting reactor operators’ ageing management programmes. The inspection manual will be complemented by a guide document intended to be used as a reference when establishing regulatory requirements for ageing management.
