AbstractAbstract
[en] The meeting extended its scope beyond reactor physics to include all the main areas of fast reactor data retrieval and knowledge preservation (FR KP). The participants presented the status of the national FR KP efforts and the progress achieved since the kick-off meeting of the IAEA initiative (meeting hosted by ANL-West in Idaho Falls, Idaho, 2-4 April 2002). Details are given in Section 2. The Scientific Secretary of the Technical Working Group on Fast Reactors (TWG-FR) presented the Agency activities (KNK II data and documentation retrieval and preservation), and recalled the Agency's role in this initiative: - Coordination of the national efforts - Ensuring the collaboration with other International Organizations (mainly OECD/NEA) - Establishing and maintaining the access means to the ultimate goal of the initiative, the 'fast reactor knowledge base'. The integration of specific activities relevant to the FR KP initiative, which are planned within the framework of the TWG-FR, was discussed. It was agreed to implement the following as TWG-FR tasks with clear relevance to FR KP initiative: - Japanese 'Proposal from Monju relevant to Fast Reactor Knowledge Preservation Activity in the framework of the IAEA TWG-FR' - Proposal of a CRP on 'Generalization and Analyses of Operational Experience with Fast Reactor Equipment and Systems' - TM on 'Handling of Sodium Coming from Decommissioned Fast Reactors and from the Shutdown of Experimental Facilities' (if not already covered by the TECDOC being prepared by IAEA's Nuclear Waste Technology Section). While the responsibility for fast reactor knowledge preservation, data retrieval and interpretation, as well as quality assurance will rest with the individual Member States joining the FR KP initiative, the participants confirmed the Agency's role (see above). More specifically, the participants in the meeting recommended that the IAEA - support and coordinate data retrieval and interpretation efforts by the fast reactor experts (in many cases already retired or about to retire) in the various Member States. The most urgent tasks for these experts will be to identify the data and information that are in danger to be lost (destroyed), assess its importance and relevance, retrieve it, and ensure its preservation. As a concrete means for implementing these first tasks, it is recommended that the that the IAEA implement fact-finding missions to interested Member States joining the initiative aiming at mobilizing Member States to take concrete action, identify the key experts, and help focus the data retrieval and preservation activities; secure, provided funding is available, in some cases the experts' collaboration under the provision of 'Special Service Agreements'; convene, in regular intervals, coordination meetings , to ensure effective follow-up of the actions and commitments, organize coordinated research projects, and, ultimately, provide and maintain the portal to access the knowledge base
