Common Management Considerations for Research Reactors
Oral Presentation
For several decades, research reactors have been a corner stone in the development and application of nuclear science and technology and in education and training of nuclear scientists and engineers. The benefits of research reactors also extended to many other fields including medical and industrial applications. Research reactors also can play an important role for building the national...

Common Management Considerations for Research Reactors
Oral Presentation
An integrated management system is a single management framework establishing all the processes necessary for the organisation to address all its goals and objectives. Very often only quality, environment and health & safety goals are included when referred to an integrated management system. However, within the research reactor environment such system should include goals pertinent to...

Common Management Considerations for Research Reactors
Oral Presentation
TRIGA reactors (Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics) constitute a ‘World of their Own’ among the large variety of research reactors. Developed in the 1950s, they were mainly constructed in the 1960s and 1970s all over the world and many of them continue to operate successfully more than 50 years.
In 1970, the first of many TRIGA Users’ Conferences was organised by the TRIGA...

Common Management Considerations for Research Reactors
Oral Presentation
There are eight research reactors at present in the Arab world, one under construction, another one planned and two shutdown and decommissioned. The level of their operation and utilization differ from one country to another depending on the individual situation in a particular country. Some other Arab countries are constructing or planning to build new research reactors. These RRs are mostly...

Common Management Considerations for Research Reactors
Oral Presentation
The operation of a reliable and well utilised research reactor facility is dependent on many factors, and the basis of all the factors are the dual platforms of safety and security. Good design, well planned and executed operations and maintenance, healthy and strong cultures, effective leadership and management, appropriately trained staff and many other factors are all enabled and based on...

Common Management Considerations for Research Reactors
Oral Presentation
A graded approach is applicable in all stages of the lifetime of a research reactor (site selection, site evaluation, design, construction, commissioning, operation and decommissioning). The IAEA Safety guide no. (SSG-22) presented recommendations on the graded approach to application of the safety requirements for research reactors. In these applications, a graded approach is only used in...

Common Management Considerations for Research Reactors
Oral Presentation
In Germany, a total of 46 research reactors were built and operated. In the meanwhile, most of them are in decommissioning or have already been dismantled completely. At present, only 7 research reactors are still being in operation. They include:
• 2 large pool reactors: FRM II in Garching near Munich with a thermal output of 20 megawatts (MW) and BER II in Berlin with a thermal output of...

Common Management Considerations for Research Reactors
Oral Presentation
There has been a long history of considering Safety, Security, and Safeguards (3S) as three functions that need to be integrated along with operations into an effective physical protection system. Here, we look instead at how safety programs can be extended to directly benefit security. Our focus will be on nuclear facilities but similar ideas could be used to support security programs at...
