• “Data on operating experience shall be collected and retained for use as input for the management of plant ageing, for the evaluation of residual plant life and for probabilistic safety assessment and periodic safety review.” The IAEA-led Peer Review of the effectiveness of the Operational Safety Performance Experience Review process (PROSPER) and associated guidelines have been developed to provide advice and assistance to utilities or individual power plants to strengthen and enhance the effectiveness of operational experience programmes in achieving these fundamental objectives. The objectives of the former IAEA Assessment of Significant Safety Events Team (ASSET) service have been expanded to include an evaluation of the effective use of all operating performance information available to the plant (e.g. external operating experience, internal low-level and near miss event reports and other relevant operating performance information, such as performance indicators and Quality Assurance non-compliance reports). The typical input and output of PROSPER information is illustrated in Fig. 1. 2 Manufacturer Owners Group Plant Engineering Corporation Plant Operation Surveillances Outages Com m issioning Trends Other Industry IA E A Ind u stry Info rm atio n Self Intern al EVENTS OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE Assessm ent Evaluation QA QC External WANO FIG. 1.

The major objectives of the peer review are the determination of whether the existing operational experience (OE) process meets the best internationally accepted practices and identification of areas for future improvement. Also to determine of whether the operational experience processes are being effectively managed, that the stated expectations and standards are being achieved and maintained, and that significant generic issues are being adequately identified and timely rectified and that adequate comprehensive operational experience processes are in place to enhance operational safety performance. A PROSPER mission is a review of the effectiveness of the plant OE processes and/or a review focused on specific significant events or issues (Fig. 2). The guidelines set down in this report are primarily intended for IAEA-led PROSPER team members as a basic structure and common reference. However, the guidelines have also been designed to provide guidance to utilities or NPPs carrying out self-assessments. The guidelines are intended to be generic, recognizing that there will be differences between utilities and that the scope of the reviews may vary.
