FOREWORD

Director General

The IAEA Operational Safety Review Team (OSART) programme assists Member 
States to enhance the safe operation of their nuclear facilities. Although good design, 
manufacture and construction are prerequisites, safety also depends on the capability 
of the operating personnel and the conscientiousness with which they carry out their 
responsibilities. OSART missions focus on these aspects when assessing operational 
practices in comparison with those used successfully in other countries, and when 
exchanging, at the working level, ideas for improving safety.

An OSART mission is undertaken at the request of a Member State. It is not a 
regulatory inspection to determine compliance with national requirements. The 
review can complement national efforts by providing an independent, international 
assessment that may identify areas for improvement. Through the OSART 
programme, the IAEA facilitates the exchange of knowledge and experience 
between international experts and plant personnel. Such advice and assistance 
enhances nuclear safety worldwide.

The mission is an opportunity to update the regulatory personnel of the host country 
assigned to follow the review, and to train personnel through observation of the 
review process. This can contribute to the attainment of an international standard of 
excellence for operational safety, not through regulatory requirements, but through 
the voluntary acceptance of successful safety practices.

The IAEA Safety Series documents, including the Nuclear Safety Standards 
(NUSS)  for nuclear power plants and the Basic Safety Standards for Radiation 
Protection, and the expertise of the OSART members themselves, form the basis 
for the review.
