Regulatory inspection of nuclear facilities and enforcement by the regulatory body. Safety guide

The purpose of this Safety Guide is to provide recommendations for regulatory bodies and operators on the documentation to be prepared for regulatory processes for nuclear facilities, and on how to ensure that such documentation is of sufficient quality and provides correct information in an appropriate way to serve its intended purpose. This Safety Guide covers the documentation required in the regulatory process for nuclear facilities such as enrichment plants and fuel manufacturing plants, nuclear power plants, other reactors such as research reactors and critical assemblies, spent fuel reprocessing plants, and radioactive waste management facilities such as treatment, storage and disposal facilities. This Safety Guide also covers issues relating to the decommissioning (or closure) of nuclear facilities. Section 2 presents an overview of documentation and Section 3 covers aspects of regulations and guides. Sections 4 and 5 cover documents to be produced by the operator and by the regulatory body, respectively. The appendix provides an outline of the authorization process
