Vendor Inspection Cooperation Working GroupBackground• Approved by the MDEP policy group in March 2008• Multinational regulatory membership• Meet six monthly but engage throughout year
Key Objectives• Conduct joint, witnessed and multinational inspections• Maximise results from regulator vendor inspections, share experience• Harmonise best practice approaches – Common Positions• Facilitate adoption of good vendor oversight practice

Achievements• Joint & witnessed inspections (approx. 100 since 2008)• Common positions - QA/QM, CFSI, Vendor Inspection
Practice• Share inspection reports & program outcomes identifying
risks (i.e., CFSI)• Multinational inspections:
– Valinox, 2014 (NRC-Lead, ASN, ONR)– Areva, Creusot Forge, 2016 (ASN-Lead, CNSC, NNSA, STUK, NRC, ONR)– ENSA, 2019 (NRC-Lead, ASN, ONR)

Benefits of Multinational Inspections• Efficient use of regulatory resource• Targets regulatory activity on areas of highest risk• Reduced inspections for suppliers• High profile, focusses vendor and licensee attention• Enables exchange of regulatory good practice• Reinforces international regulatory expectations

Challenges• Continue:
– Inspection cooperation (witnessed, joint & multi-national)– Share experience– focus on risks of CFSI & enhancing nuclear safety culture
• Enhance:– Regulatory guidance - Inspection of advanced manufacturing techniques– Supply chain mapping & oversight of interfaces– Stakeholder engagement– Regulatory guidance - Commercial Grade Dedication & Equipment
Qualification
• Consider lessons from the Coronavirus pandemic
