Regional Basic Professional Training Course in Korea

Regional Basic Professional Training Course (BPTC) on Nuclear Safety
The availability of items important to safety and the detection of deficiencies and
incipient failures that might occur during operation or prior to returning items to
service after maintenance, repair or modifications.
Operational experience and accidents reported from analogous plant
The surveillance programme is developed by the operating organization sufficiently early
to permit the programme to be properly implemented as, and when, plant items become
operational during the commissioning phase and, where appropriate, on installation.
Implementation is scheduled so that the safety of the plant does not depend on untested or
unmonitored structures, systems or components.
The surveillance programme is established early enough to permit:
Its supporting procedures to be developed, reviewed and approved in a timely
manner;
The surveillance procedures to be performed to the extent practicable during the
commissioning phase; and
Certain parameters to be recorded (during and after construction but prior to
commencement of operation) for use as reference points in monitoring (certain
benchmarks and alignment references, for example, may need to be permanently
marked, measured and recorded to provide as‐built references for subsequent
comparison).
Special attention is paid when preparing and reviewing the surveillance programme to
ensure that, when surveillance tests are carried out, sufficient components remain
operable, even when the plant is shut down, to ensure that no operational limits and
conditions are violated.
