From the publication:
BACKGROUND The "Safety Research Strategic Plan for Russian Nuclear Power Plants" was published in draft form in late 1998. It was developed at the Russian International Nuclear Safety Centre (RINSC) of the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy, by a working group of fifteen senior Russian experts representing twelve Russian organisations, chaired by Professor Armen A. Abagyan. These experts were assisted by a Project Team of other technical experts from key organisations throughout Russia, and by the US International Nuclear Safety Centre (USINSC) whose role was principally that of facilitator and reviewer. The Plan consists of 12 chapters, each addressing a specific technical area and containing a number of proposed research programmes and projects to advance the state-of-knowledge in that area. In part because a strong Recommendation to undertake such a Plan was made by the 1998 OECDINEA study, "Safety Research Needs for Russian-Designed Reactors", the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency was asked by the Director of RINSC (Professor S. Bugaenko) and the Director of USINSC (Dr. D.J. Hill) to organise an international review of the Plan when the English-language version became available in October, 1998. This report represents the results of that review. OBJECTIVES OF THE REVIEW The NEA undertook the review with the objective of providing an independent verification on the scope, priority, and content of the research described in the Plan based upon the experience of the NEA group of experts. Another objective was to identify areas where similar work is being done in other countries, possibly forming the basis for co-operative research and beneficial exchanges of information, and specifically to identify possible NEA activities from which Russia could benefit.
