7590-01 NUCLEAR REGUtATCRY CCMMISSION INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY DRAFT SAFETY GUIDE Notice of Availability of Draft for Public Coment The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is developing a limited number of internationally acceptable codes of practice and safety guides for nuclear pcwer plants. These codes and guides will be developed in the following five areas: Government Organization, Siting, Design, Operation, and Quality Assurance. The purpose of these codes and guides is to provide IAEA guidance to countries beginning nuclear power programs.
The IAEA Codes of Practice and Safety Guides are developed in the following way.
The IAEA receives and collates relevant existing information used by member countries. Using this collation as a starting point, an IAEA Working Group of a few experts then develops a preliminary c aft. This preliminary draft is reviewed and modified by the IAEA Technical Review Comittee to the extent necessary to develop a draft acceptable to them.
This draft Code of Practice or Safety Guide is then sent to the IAEA Senior Advisory Group which reviews and modifies the draft as necessary to reach agreement on the draft and then forwards it to the IAEA Secretariat to obtain ecments frcm the. Member States. The Senior Advisory Group then considers the Member State coments, agai.7 modifies the draft as necessary to reach agreement and forwards it to the IAEA Director General with a recomendation that it be accepted.
As part of this program, Safety Guide SG-S10B. " Determination of Design Basis Floeds for Nuclear Power Plants on Coastal Sites," has been developed.
The Working Group, consisting of A. Van Urk of The Netherlands; R. M. Ncble (Dres & Moore Company) of the United States of America; arc R. Fotneringham 9
