OFFICIAL USE ONLY / USAGE EXCLUSIF The Role of Safety Research in Building Core Capabilities and Advancing Nuclear Safety Véronique Rouyer NEA, Head of Division of Nuclear Safety Technology and Regulation

OFFICIAL USE ONLY / USAGE EXCLUSIF Focus = research excellence policy, safety-oriented research, and expertise building mechanism for trust Confidence in conservatism, safety margins to be based on integrating social and technical elements Confidence in the performance of tools for decision-making based on the best estimate of risk and nuclear facility oversight: risk analysis, uncertainty analysis, sensitivity analysis Rigorous and systemic approach Core capabilities to support efficient safety policy EXPLORE MATERIALS Applied academic research Mastering Data Bases behavior and degradation

& Simulation tools DEVELOP SYSTEM Models, tools, Formulating problems design and behavior methodologies, simulation and opportunities RISK ANALYSIS VERIFY / VALIDATE methodologies typical simple case INTEGRATE / IMPLEMENT NEA Joint OPEX ANALYSIS experiments Projects optimise the large scale methodologies experimental validation (integrated approach)

Research Technical support organisations and Industry organisation Regulator universities

OFFICIAL USE ONLY / USAGE EXCLUSIF Research: a catalyst for meeting safety challenges, a capacity to navigate in the new dynamics

Timing is critical External intervention Capabilities e.g. qualifying a new nuclear fuel concept and resources

Research partners

Availability of infrastructures

International activities

Space to test and design innovation

In-depth peer-to-peer collaborations (new opportunities) Performance to identify priorities for action e.g. AI and Machine Learning advanced techniques for a more effective approach to accident analyses

Space to approach system simplification Change and adaptation

Opportunities for and from the young A key partner in NEA research activities generation Establish a PIRTs and Engaging safety Organise an databases with research R&D for policy board framework innovative making (integrated model approach) designs bodies https://www.oecd-nea.org/jcms/pl_72839/nea-nuclear-safety-research-joint-projects-week-success-stories-and-opportunities-for-future-developments
