Using this collation as a starting point, an IAEA working grcup of a few experts then cevelops a preliminary draft. This preliminary draft is reviewed and modified by the IAEA Technical Review Comittee to the extent necessary to develop a draft accrptable to them. This draft ccde of practice or safety guide is then sent to the IAEA Senior Advisory Grcup which reviews and modifies the draft as necessary to reach agreement on the draft and then forwards it to the IAEA Secretariat to obtain ccreents frem the Member States. The Senior Advisory Group then considers the Member State cements, again 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-09, " Management of Nuclear Pcwer Plants for Safe Operation," has been developed. An IAEA working group, consisting of Mr. H.
