About IRRS missions:
IRRS missions are designed to strengthen
the effectiveness of the national nuclear regulatory infrastructure, while
recognizing the ultimate responsibility of each State to ensure nuclear
safety. This is done through consideration of regulatory, technical and
policy issues, with comparisons against IAEA Safety Standards, and, where
appropriate, good practices elsewhere.
