NPP in Member States: Current StatusNPP in Member States: Current Status
Average age of operating NPPs is constantly increased: a role of ageing/life management becomes more important.
IAEA initiated ageing/life management activities in 1980s to:• facilitate information exchange among Member States;• create guidance documents on this subject.

For example:• 504….design principles have been formulated to achieve the goal of
accident prevention and mitigation with high confidence.
• 510. … “operation of the nuclear installation must be controlled in accordance with a set of operational limits and conditions … operation must be carried out by adequately trained and authorized personnel in accordance with detailed, validated and approved procedures” …Principle 17
• 512. …”operation procedures must provide staff with instructions for the response to anticipated operational occurrences” … Principle 20

Chapter 5. Requirements for plant design• The design process shall establish a set of
requirements and limitations for safe operation, including: (1) safety system settings; (2) control system and procedural constraints on process variables and other important parameters; (3) requirements for maintenance, testing and inspection of the plant to ensure that structures, systems and components function as intended in the design, with the ALARA principle taken into consideration; (4) clearly defined operational configurations, including operational restrictions in the event of safety system outages.

PSR as a comprehensive integrated systematic safety review is a complementary tool to the existing types of reviews and carried out at regular intervals to deal with
• changes in safety standards, safety concepts and operating practices,
• the cumulative effect of ageing, modifications, modifications in design basis, plant design and procedures,
• feedback of operating experience,
