Operational documentation

The documentation relating to the operation of a nuclear installation comprises organisational and technical documents, plus operational records.

1. Organisational documents

Power plant or overall operating regulationsPower plant regulations or operating regulations document the organisational and personnel requirements for safe operation, including organisational shut-down criteria.
Emergency preparedness regulationsRegulations governing emergency procedures document the organisational structure and responsibilities for dealing with emergencies. Instructions for the emergency team form an integral part of these regulations.
Radiation protection regulationsRegulations governing protection against radiation specify the duties of the holder of the operating licence with regard to radiation protection, in particular measurement of radioactivity released into the atmosphere and protection of personnel working in the controlled zone of the nuclear installation.
Quality management manualThe quality management manual describes a comprehensive and systematic quality management system for the operation of the nuclear installation.
Regulations and directives relating to securityRegulations and directives relating to security contain general instructions concerning the security of nuclear installations and regulations for the security guards
Mission statement on safety cultureThe mission statement specifies how the management staff of the nuclear installation interpret and promote safety culture, and define the factors and criteria that are used for assessing its effectiveness.

2. Technical documents

Safety Analysis Report (SAR)A Safety Analysis Report (SAR) describes technical and organisational aspects of the nuclear installation. It forms the basis for ongoing safety assessment. For a deep geological repository, this report specially encompasses the demonstration of long-term safety of the repository after closure.
Security reportThe security report of a nuclear installation describes the current status of security measures in accordance with the requirements of ENSI. Security reports must be classified.
Technical specificationsTechnical specifications contain regulations for the operation of a nuclear installation and its safety systems, including technical shutdown criteria.
In-service inspection programmeA test programme describing in-service inspections on pressure-bearing components and systems in security categories 1 to 4.
Ageing management programmeA programme for monitoring ageing describes the status and monitoring of mechanical and electrical components as well as the structures of the nuclear installation.
Normal- and emergency operating proceduresThese procedures govern the safe operation of the installation, both in normal operating mode and in the event of accidents in accordance with Article 8.
Severe Accident Management Guidelines (SAMG)SAMG help staff deal with accidents that may result in the release of unacceptable amounts of radioactive substances into the atmosphere.
Current PSAThe current plant-specific PSA (probabilistic safety analysis) of a nuclear power plant considers all relevant operating modes: a. a probabilistic analysis of accidents in accordance with Article 8 initiated by internal or external events and as a result of which radioactive substances may be released into the atmosphere; b. a quantitative evaluation of preventive and mitigating measures to prevent such accidents; c. a quantitative evaluation of the risk of a large release of radioactive substances (release risk).
Technical descriptionsTechnical descriptions contain diagrams, drawings, plans, documentation of design basis including layout plans, building plans, maintenance schedules, lists of components, zoning plans and other technical documents describing the actual plant state.

3. Operational records

Activity logsActivity logs provide information about the course of operations. They include operating data and measurements, key operating data of the installation, controls of on-site doses and contamination, monitoring of the surroundings and analyses of solid, liquid and gaseous substances and waste.
Shifts logThe shifts log contains the names and allocated duties of shift workers, plus significant operational events and switching operations, as well as any noted deviations from operating data and measurements important to safety.
Guard reportThe guard report contains the names of guard personnel and the duties to which they are assigned, plus details of routine controls, patrol activities, unusual observations and events, and contacts with external authorities.
