The panellists shared their experiences with the SCRB based on specific national framework.
The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident in Japan marked a turning point in terms of reviewing how the safety culture of the regulatory body (SCRB) had evolved over time.
The Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities (CNRA), the Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) and the Committee on Radiation Protection and Public Health (CRPPH) felt that it was important that the lessons learnt were used to further discuss the priorities, principles and implementation challenges of the SCRB. As a consequence the CNRA, with the support of the CSNI and the CRPPH, reviewed the way forward for the SCRB, which included possible enhancements. They issued a new guidance document on this topic at the end of 2015.
The workshop provided an invaluable opportunity for the exchange of information and views on the priorities, challenges and guiding principles to SCRB. It was expected that speakers and participants would discuss enhancement and possible developments to help ensure and improve the SCRB. A summary of the workshop was submitted to the CNRA for endorsement.
The workshop opened with presentations by both the NEA Director-General and the chair of the three committees directly involved with the SCRB. The opening session set the scene and gave an overview of the SCRB together with presentations and discussions on priorities and challenges. The main session focused on the principles of the SCRB, its implementation and the challenges and enhancements that are being raised and considered. The workshop concluded with a session that looked at findings and conclusions, the way forward and an agreed position on the SCRB.
Access to the workshop was reserved for experts from nuclear regulatory agencies and technical support organisations from NEA member countries. Participation was limited to 140.
