156. Experiences and Challenges of Safeguards By Design for J-MOX

Junji Shimizu (Japan Nuclear Fuel Limited (JNFL))

Preparing for safeguards new facilities, processes and campaigns (NEW)

Roundtable Member

J-MOX construction had been started in October 2010 based on the permission of application for MOX fuel fabrication business license (J-MOX license) which was submitted in April 2005 under the system of conventional regulatory requirements. With the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 as a turning point, the New Regulatory Requirements (New Regulation) was enforced in December 2013 and...

83. Getting ready for final disposal of spent fuel in Finland – lessons learned down the path of the Safeguards-by-Design cooperation

Mr Mentor Murtezi (European Commission)

Preparing for safeguards new facilities, processes and campaigns (NEW)

Roundtable Member

The spent nuclear fuel geological disposal systems in Finland are soon entering the implementation phase with the start of the construction of the encapsulation plant. This calls for a parallel identification of adequate safeguards measures and applicable techniques by the relevant regulatory bodies and safeguards authorities. Multi-party cooperation is indispensable in this challenging...

289. Implementation of Safeguards Measures at the High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Pebble-Bed Module (HTR-PM) in China and Proposed Safeguards by Design for Units to be Exported to Other States

Mr JINYONG DOO (IAEA)

Preparing for safeguards new facilities, processes and campaigns (NEW)

Roundtable Member

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology, Tsinghua University (INET) are developing safeguards measures for the High Temperature gas-cooled Reactor Pebble-bed Module (HTR-PM) under construction in the People’s Republic of China (China), which is under a voluntary safeguards agreement (VOA) with the IAEA. China has successfully...

105. Incorporating Safeguards by Design Concepts in 700 MW Indian PHWR KAPS-3&4

Mr Surendra Agrawal (Scientific Officer G)

Preparing for safeguards new facilities, processes and campaigns (NEW)

Roundtable Member

IAEA had been implementing safeguards in India since 1971. In 1988 another safeguards agreement for implementation of safeguards in NPPs built in cooperation with USSR came into force. Consequent to international civil nuclear cooperation, India signed another safeguards agreement INFCIRC/754 with IAEA in 2009. All the safeguards agreements of India are INFCIRC/66 based. While the...

197. New safeguards tools for research reactors

Mr Mark Goodman (U.S. Department of State)

Preparing for safeguards new facilities, processes and campaigns (NEW)

Roundtable Member

This paper will explore novel methods to strengthen the safeguards approach for new research reactors through early dialogue and collaboration among key players. Interest in this topic was stimulated by the observation that most historical cases of non-compliance have involved research reactors. While the diversion from or misuse of research reactors was often discovered years after the fact...

221. Safeguards by Design for Storage and Disposal of Nuclear Waste

Ms Rebecca Stohr (IAEA Safeguards Section, Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office)

Preparing for safeguards new facilities, processes and campaigns (NEW)

Roundtable Member

The concept of safeguards by design (SBD) is important in ensuring nuclear facilities are designed to effectively and efficiently support IAEA safeguards implementation, without placing undue constraints on operations. There has been much work on SBD for nuclear production facilities (particularly enrichment and reprocessing plants) and for new reactor designs, but little at the very back-end...

271. Safeguards by Design for the Indonesian Experimental Nuclear Power Reactor - A case study

Mr Danung Rismawan (Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency (BAPETEN))

Preparing for safeguards new facilities, processes and campaigns (NEW)

Roundtable Member

Indonesia has always developed the use of nuclear energy for peaceful only. Related to the fullfillment of national energy policy, Indonesia plans to build nuclear power plants on a small power scale. Type reactor to be selected is Pebble Bed Reactor. Since Indonesia as a signatory state to the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement in 1980 and its Additional Protocols for Safeguards Agreement in...

194. Starting from scratch – Safeguards by design work in the Hanhikivi-1 NPP Project

Ms Kaisa Pellinen (Fennovoima)

Preparing for safeguards new facilities, processes and campaigns (NEW)

Roundtable Member

Fennovoima Ltd is building a AES-2006 NPP in Pyhäjoki. Hanhikivi Site is a green field, without any kinds of former industry activities located nearby. The Plant Supplier is RAOS Project (subsidiary of Rusatom Energy International), and the project is now in the licensing phase. The construction of the plant is to start after granting of construction license by the Finnish government scheduled...
