Active CRPs in Nuclear Installation Safety

Safety significance of near field earthquakes
Safety aspects of long term operation and ageing management
Safety performance indicators for fuel cycle facilities
Assessment of source term, radionuclide transport within containment/confinement and release to the environment for research reactors
Evaluation of best estimate accident analysis
Development of a methodology for risk-informed in-service inspections
Analysis and development of safety performance indicators for nuclear power plants

Accident severity during air transport of radioactive material
To investigate appropriate methods and procedures to apply Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) techniques in the safety of large radiation sources
Exploring the possibility of establishing guidance levels for interventional radiology
Avoidance of unnecessary dose to patients while transitioning from analogue to digital radiology
Evaluate quantitatively and promote dose reduction approaches in interventional radiology
Dose reduction in computed tompgraphy while maintaining diagnostic confidence
Application of safety assessment methodologies for near surface waste disposal facilities (ASAM) (CAURB) (ISAM follow-up)

Improvement of technical measures to detect and respond to illicit trafficking of nuclear and other radioactive materials
