International Atomic Energy Association’s (IAEA) 12-member
operational safety review team (OSART) would complete on Wednesday its
operational safety performance of 3&4 units of Rajasthan Atomic
Power Stations (RAPS). This is IAEA’s 171 st OSART review across the
globe since the programme´s inception in 1982 and first of any nuclear
power plant in India.
India’s all 20 nuclear plants have undergone peer review earlier by
international experts from the World Association of Nuclear Operators
(WANO). At present RAPS consist of 8 units including two units of 700 MW
each under construction and generating a total of 1,140 MW.
RAPS 3&4 site director JP Gupta told Business Standard “IAEA team
headed by Miroslav Nipar has been carrying out its review since October
29. The team was here at the invitation of the Government of India.” He
informed in OSART missions, the IAEA coordinates internationally-based
teams of experts who conduct reviews of operational safety performance
at nuclear power plants.
According to Gupta, the OSART mission has reviewed good practices
launched by RAPS 3&4 and it would suggest improvements further
