International organization confirmed that the Paks NPP operates safe, dependable

An Operational Safety Review Team (OSART) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) acknowledged the Paks nuclear power plant’s commitment to safe and dependable operation, the power plant company said on Thursday.

MVM Paksi Atomerőmű said it requested the IAEA to conduct the OSART test with the aim to explore further possibilities to improve the operational safety of the power plant based on available best practices.

The draft report concluding the OSART mission, based on the IAEA’s safety guidelines, identifies best practices in the power plant’s activity that will later be shared with the international professional public.

The proposals put forward by the OSART team include the more efficient encouragement of employees by managers in order to avoid mistakes, the review of the control system of the maintenance equipment and of unfixed devices in the area protected against earthquakes.

Deputy head of the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority OAH László Juhász said the international review did not make any comments that questioned the high safety level of the nuclear power plant.
