The Programme Review Group is established to perform a programme quality review function within the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) and to provide scientific assistance to the decision-making process of the CSNI. The PRG also supports the Bureau in preparing CSNI meetings and in proposing actions concerning the achievement of CSNI objectives.

  • Review the programme of work of each CSNI working group with respect to overall work-load and priorities.
  • Evaluate new activity proposals from the CSNI working groups: check consistency with the OPG and the working groups’ programmes of work, assess the resource and time requirements and issue recommendations to the CSNI.
  • At the request of the CSNI, evaluate new NEA joint project proposals with regard to their technical content and their alignment with working groups’ work scope.
  • At the request of the CSNI, provide assistance to the Bureau for the work of the Committee and its working structures with respect to cross-cutting issues.
  • Monitor the progress of ongoing activities in the context of the programme of work of the respective working groups and OPG technical goals and recommend corrective actions as needed.
  • Review and, if necessary, make proposals for topics of Technical Opinion Papers and Collective Opinion Statements.
  • Review CSNI reports and provide guidance and advice on technical subjects to the CSNI.
  • Report on its activities and recommendations at each Committee meeting.
