[en] The 10 CFR 52 process provides for a single combined license (COL) to be granted prior to the beginning of construction. Incorporated into the COL is a set of inspections, tests, analyses and acceptance criteria (ITAAC) which, when satisfied, provide the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) with reasonable assurance that the completed plant has been constructed properly and will operate safely in accordance with the terms of the license. The licensee performs the inspections, tests and analyses, and determines that the acceptance criteria have been fulfilled; the NRC must make a finding that the ITAAC requirements have been satisfied before fuel loading at the nuclear power plant is permitted. The challenge is that the concept of ITAAC is new and not well defined. This paper addresses some of the ITAAC issues for the U.S. EPR approach for coordination of ITAAC with design, procurement, construction and startup activities to ensure timely approval of fuel loading and commissioning for plant operation.

[en] Full-text: The safe operation of the RTP are based on the compliance to the requirements set by the regulatory body (LPTA) for the reactor. In 2018, there are changes made to the requirements as an improvement. This paper focus on the RTP maintenance requirements that must be complied. (author)

[en] The presentations discusses legislation, history licensing procedure under the Act on the Safe Use of Nuclear Energy, completed licensing activities and current status as well as planned future licensing activities

[en] Although no licensing activities occurred during the third quarter of 1990, the period covered by this report, we include this section to show the current status of all reactors still in licensing in the United States, which means up to the point where a fuel loading and low-power (up to 5% of full power) license is issued. Table 1 shows this list. The only change from the last time we carried this table [in Issue 31(3)] is that Comanche Peak 1 has been removed. Barring other changes, this table will be carried again in our Issue 33(1) one year hence

[en] The regulatory system in force in Italy concerning radioisotopes is based on two statutes dating back to 1962 and 1964; the latter is based on a 1962 Directive of European Community, of which Italy is a Member. European Directives of 1980, 1984, 1989, 1990 and 1992 will be enacted into Italian legislation by January 1, 1996. In the statutes in force the basic rules are established governing the holding and use of, trading in and disposal of radioactive material. These activities are subject to notification and licensing. Notification and licensing are based on two tiered system: a local, regional or provincial level and a national one, depending on the intersection of a number of parameters. The role of the governmental organs, state agencies such as ANPA (National Agency for Environmental Protection), local administrative bodies, their competence and their powers are discussed with regard to notification and licensing.

[en] This Guide is primarily intended for applicants requesting a radioactive waste handling/management licence (except radioactive waste collection, sorting and storage directly at the originator). It recommends a process which will ensure that the activities involved comply with the requirements of the Czech Atomic Act (including implementing regulations) and IAEA and WENRA WGWD recommendations. (P.A.)

[en] Information about existing and prospective WWER type nuclear reactors in Ukraine is presented in this paper. Main laws, rules and regulations implemented for activity in the sphere of usage and licensing of nuclear fuel are briefly discussed. State control and state regulation in the field of nuclear power is conduced by an authorized regulatory body. Structure and tasks of Regulatory authority in the sphere of usage on nuclear power are described in order to clear the practice for licensing of nuclear fuel. The system for issuing of permissions for nuclear fuel usage and experience of its implementation is briefly discussed. There are presented some plans for implementation of new types of nuclear fuel for Ukrainian WWER-1000 reactors in cooperation with fuel suppliers. Nuclear Regulatory Authority of Ukraine is completed preparation and training for licensing of any new type of nuclear fuel. This means issuing of required permissions for the use of the new fuel type at individual stages of the fuel operation including, but not limited to, preparation and review of safety analysis documents. In the frame of this activity a methodology for performing an expert review of materials substantiating the introduction into operation of new types of fuel is developed

[en] The regulations in Bulgaria on the use of atomic energy and the assumptions, requirements, necessary documents and procedures for the licensing of activities connected with nuclear materials, including nuclear fuel, are reported in brief. The construction of a spent fuel storage facility started in 1982. However, the Law on the Use of Atomic Energy for Peaceful Purposes was only approved in 1985. This situation created some problems during the licensing procedure for spent fuel storage because the first stages were not licensed according to the law, which will be used, however, for the licensing of the last and most important stage, which is commissioning.
