SEDO
Safety Evaluation of Fuel Cycle Facilities During Operation
The aim of this Safety Review Service is to assist the requesting Member State in enhancing the operational safety of FCFs and to promote the continuous development of operational safety by the dissemination of information on good safety practices.
SEDO is intended to be a peer review conducted by a team of international experts with experience in operational and technical areas of evaluation. Judgments on safety performance of the facility are based on the IAEA Safety Standards and the combined expertise of the international team.
The facilities to be covered by SEDO are: uranium milling and refining facilities, conversion and enrichment facilities, fuel fabrication facilities, spent fuel storage facilities, reprocessing facilities, waste conditioning facilities and fuel cycle research and development facilities.
