The HAEA has received the TSR progress report from the Paks NPP

The European Council required the operators of the European nuclear power plants to evaluate the safety of the plants in line with the requirements of the Targeted Safety Reassessment (TSR). In the evaluation they should assess the possible response to extreme conditions and propose measures to avoid any consequences similar to those occurred in Fukushima. The HAEA set the requirements based on methods accepted by the European Commission and its regulatory working group, the ENSREG and published them on its website. The progress report prepared by the Paks NPP was handed over to the HAEA in the middle of August. The HAEA will assess the report and prepare a preliminary report to the European Commission by 15 September, 2011. The final report of the Paks NPP should be ready by 31 October, and the HAEA will finish its evaluation by 31 December, 2011. The HAEA will define the measures to be implemented by the Paks NPP in order to reach the goals of the reassessment and inform the European Commission about the results. There will be an international peer review process organised by the European Commisssion to evaluate the national reports of the European countries, the details of which are under discussion. The summary of the progress report of the Paks NPP can be reached on the website of the HAEA and the Paks NPP. The public will be informed in due time about the process and results of the reassessment. Summary of the Progress Report
