CNCAN 2 

Enhancement of CNCAN capabilities for integrated management systems and knowledge management

 

Purpose:

To provide CNCAN with relevant recommendations for the transition of the Integrated Management System (IMS) in CNCAN from an ISO 9001:2000 based system up to an integrated system based on IAEA GS-R-3 Safety Standard and to assist CNCAN in the implementation of an effective IMS, including a knowledge management framework and the establishment of performance indicators to measure regulatory effectiveness.

 

Background:

The Regional Excellence Programme on Regulatory Capacity Building in Nuclear and Radiological Safety, and Emergency Preparedness and Response in Romania in 2009-2014 is a continuation of the previously completed successful programme between NRPA and CNCAN on safe nuclear energy in 2009-2011. An IRRS mission has been conducted as part of the previous programme, with corresponding recommendations for the development and implementation of the management system of CNCAN.

 

Results:

The programme will achieve its purpose described above and in particular will deliver:

  • A revised process map for the CNCAN IMS;

  • A set of recommendations on the definition of processes and their interfaces;

  • A generic template for the definition/description of a process;

  • A set of indicators for regulatory effectiveness;

  • Documented management system processes and a revised management system manual;

  • Training materials on the IMS and its processes;

  • Management and staff trained on the IMS and its processes, including communications;

  • Revised management system inspection tool;

  • Training materials for a training course in the implementation of the revised management system inspection tool;

  • Trained inspectors on the use of the management system inspection tool;

  • Procedures and performance indicators for knowledge management;

  • A corporate knowledge portal for CNCAN;

  • Definition of the model for the Romanian National System of Competencies for nuclear safety and safety culture, indicating the staffing levels and competencies for the nuclear regulatory body (CNCAN).
