Preparedness and Response for an Emergency at a Research Reactor
This training course assists Member States in preparations for an effective response to a research reactor emergency in line with the Generic Procedures for Response to a Nuclear or Radiological Emergency at Research Reactors (EPR-RESEARCH REACTOR, 2011).
The course targets local and facility emergency planners, emergency response coordinators and emergency managers.
The five-day programme focuses on action guides for the facility emergency response team, instructions, practical procedures and tools that can be adapted by a Member State to build a basic capability to respond to a research reactor emergency.
Topics covered include:
- developing procedures for on-site and off-site protective actions;
- establishing response teams, including structuring roles and responsibilities;
- organising emergency response actions at a reactor site; and
- reviewing the threat category of a research reactor site.
Member States desiring training in this area should send an official request to the IAEA Incident and Emergency Centre.
