eing established with Central Information Commission (CIC) site so that on-line information is available to CIC about the implementation of RTI act in AERB. Public Information Officer (PIO) and Assistant Public Information Officer (APIO) attended the workshop on RTI organized by ISTM, New Delhi. To bring awareness about RTI among the AERB personnel, an AERB colloquium was organized on “Right to Information Act-2005” by APIO, AERB bringing out the objectives, concept and methodology of the implementation. 10.6 AERB WEBSITE AERB as part of its policy of public information has been putting information relevant to public and utilities on its website. The information related to radiation installations for use of radiation in medicine, industry and research for societal benefits and beach sand mining units has been put in website. The information includes the applicable acts, codes and rules, regulatory forms related to issuance of licenses, authorizations, registration and consent and other information related to AERB. 62
CHAPTER 11 INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION 11.1 AERB – USNRC NUCLEAR SAFETY COOPERATION PROGRAM The nuclear safety co-operation between AERB and USNRC was resumed in February 2003. A total of 7 meetings took place between the two regulatory bodies during the years 2003 to 2006; the meetings are being held alternatively in India and USA every year. The objective of these meetings continues to be furthering the dialogue on nuclear safety between Indian and US Governments. The 8 th discussion meeting under the Program was held at the USNRC Headquarters, in Rockville, Maryland from January 8 – 16, 2007. The Indian delegation, consisting of members from AERB, BARC and NPCIL and one member from Indian Embassy in Washington, D.C. was led by Shri S.K. Chande, Vice Chairman, AERB. A total of 41 delegates, led by Mr. James Edward Lyons, Director Division of Site and Environmental Reviews, office of New Reactors participated from USNRC. The two AERB engineers deputed in USNRC also attended the meeting. The topics covered in the meeting were: Digital Systems Reliability and New Control Room Designs, Experience in Construction of New Nuclear Power Plants, Flow Accelerated Corrosion and Erosion-Corrosion in Primary and Secondary Systems and Proactive Materials Degradation Study Programs. The Status of work done on Standard Problem Exercise on Containment Performance Under Severe Accident Conditions, Severe Accident Analysis Exercise utilizing TMI-2 data and Thermal Hydraulics Exercise utilizing data from the PANDA Test Facility was discussed. NRC and AERB participants agreed that the ongoing cooperation is helping in improving understanding of issues relating to safety of NPPs in both the countries. It was agreed that the following topics are for ongoing areas of cooperation. New Reactor Designs (LWRs) (e.g., technical basis for certification for a design, models/ reviews/technology-independent safety criteria, experimental work for developing enabling technologies for advanced reactor designs and reliability evaluation of passive safety systems). PRA Methods and Applications (including seismic evaluations)/ Severe Accident Analysis & Management (for both operating reactors and new designs). Proactive Materials Degradation Programs (including concrete aging and temperature effects). Digital Systems (both hardware/software) Reliability and Qualification (including control room designs and operator support systems). Experience in License Extension and up-rating of Old Plants and Development of Operating Procedures for Management of Severe Accidents. Operating Experience Feedback in India and the U.S. Safety criteria for High Temperature Reactors (HTRs) and Strategies for Knowledge Preservation may be considered at a later date. The work on the standard problems will continue. It was decided that next AERB-USNRC Meeting will be held in Mumbai in last quarter of 2007 and involve a three day seminar covering the topics of interest including Advanced Reactors and Digital Instrumentation and Control Systems, and a 2 day workshop covering the 3 standard problem exercises now underway. After the meeting, AERB delegation visited the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth, Massachusetts and held technical discussions and toured research facilities at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston. As part of this cooperation programs, USNRC is hosting 2 young AERB engineers at its head office in Washington D.C. for a period of 1 year starting from July 2006. 11.2 OTHER COOPERATIVE ACTIVITIES AERB also has nuclear safety cooperative programme with ASN; the French <strong>Regulatory</strong> Body. Under this co-operation, a French delegation of 5 members headed by Mr. Andre Claude Lacoste, Director General, ASN visited AERB on October 25, 2005. Presentations were made and discussions were held on topics like Flooding Events, Safety and Leak Tests of Pre-stressed Concrete Containments, and Safety and Transport of Radioactive Materials. A Seminar under Nuclear Safety Cooperation between AERB and ASN is planned during May 8-10, 2007 covering the topics of licensing process of new projects, EPR design assessment, severe accident management and instrumentation and control system. 63
