A13-2-9 The periodic safety reviews

Operating personnel must pay continuous attention to plant safety and conduct periodic reviews in order to improve the plant and its operating procedures as 

As already mentioned in Section 13-2-1 in connection with criteria and standards, the case may occur that new knowledge or new standards may generate doubts about the consistency of the criteria and about the adequacy of the plant or its procedures. In that section it was noted that the situation has to be primarily assessed to see if the discrepancy is formal or substantial in nature. Even in the latter case, various degrees of action are available, such as a more refined analysis, modifications to limits and operating procedures and, finally, plant improvements.
