Purpose of the report

Since the last IAEA Status Report on Small and Medium Power Reactors was issued nearly eight years ago, many designs have been introduced and several designs have matured. The main incentives for these designs have been improvements in safety, reliability and economics. In response to important commercial developments, the energy range of small and medium reactors (SMRs) is now taken as being up to around 700 MW. 

The purpose of this report is to provide up-to-date balanced technical information to engineers and scientists involved in the development, design or licensing of SMRs. It brings out the design approaches and features of SMRs, in particular their simplicity, their larger flexibility for a variety of applications and the use of passive safety features as fundamental 

Part of the report is addressed to policy makers who are planning to evaluate SMRs it gives to them an overview of the present stams of SMR development and the requirements and situations that would make their deployment most beneficial.

The frequency of the QAU s periodic reports to management is left to the discretion of the laboratory. Reports at intervals of approximately amonth are fairly standard within the regulated community. The description of problems noted during QAU inspections need not be extremely detailed unless the problems remain uncorrected. The primary purpose of the report is to assure management that study quality is being maintained and that management intervention is not required. 

Introduction—introduces the topic and purpose of the report and may summarize the material in the report. You might find the following kinds of documents as parts of a report s introduction. 

In this chapter we look at more than one possible approach to both of the above. It would be wrong to claim that one way is universally better than another. However, we can make rational choices for specific situations if we take account of the nature of the data and the purpose of the report. 

The report must not be cluttered or obscured with extraneous data, which is not directly critical to the purpose of the report. 

It is in the interest of pharmaceutical companies to be in a state of readiness for a PAI. Staff should be aware of all procedures, policies and regulations and have current training records. A good documentation storage and retrieval system is essential to be able to locate and retrieve records and reports efficiently. It is now considered essential to have prepared a Development Report for the FDA to aid the PAI. The purpose of the report is to summarise all the product development and to demonstrate the equivalence of the manufacturing process and controls used for the pivotal clinical and stability batches and the commercial product. The typical contents of the Development Report requested by the FDA are as follows ... 

The extent of detail depends on the purpose of the report. Even a brief progress report should characterize samples and their data so that they can be traced to more detailed records. The significance of the results in terms of magnitude, reliability, and pertinence must be understandable by the reader. Detailed reports for long periods or at the completion of the project should also provide all necessary information on sample collection and processing, analytical and radiation detection methods, quality assurance, and data processing, either as part of the report or by references. The names of the persons who participated in the program and their individual contributions are an important part of the record to permit further detailed review. 

The reporting statistician must decide whether the report is going to be primarily graphical, primarily tabular, or a mixture of the two. We prefer reports with a mixture of types of presentations certain kinds of questions lend themselves to graphs while others lend themselves to tables. Readers of reports have individual preferences some prefer graphs and some prefer tables. Remember that the purpose of the report is to facilitate the ability of... 

The details of format and content should be selected in full consideration of the reader s point of view and the purpose of the report. This criterion generally applies to classroom reports, as well as those expected to be produced after graduation in all types of arenas and scenarios. 

This section of the report is the most important individual section. The objective of the abstract is to provide the reader with a concise, overall statement of the high points of the report. Normally, the abstract should be no more than one written page. More than any other section of the report, the abstract should be prepared in consideration of the reader and the piupose of the own report. A reasonable assessment of the abstract will be, therefore, to read it from the reader s point of view and determine if is sufficiently clear and concise and conveys the appropriate information on the purpose, scope, and extent of the report. A good abstract will include a brief statement of the objectives of the study, experiment, or design, and results in the form on concise conclusions and/or recommendations for further work. Often, other information, such as important assumptions, alternatives analyzed, or procediues will be included depending on the purpose of the report and the reader s profile. 

The Companies Act 1989 recpiires that compaiy accounts should be accompanied by an auditors report. The purpose of the report is to provide members of the company and the public at large with an assurance that, in the opinion of the auditors, the accounts give a hue and fair view of the state of the affairs of the company. With one or two minor exceptions, only members of the three Institutes of Chartered Accountants (in England and Wales, of Scotland and in Ireland) and of the Association of Certified Accountants are eligible for appointment as auditors and they must satisfy certain criteria of independence of the compaity. 

Following the vulnerability assessment data-collection phase, the information must be presented in a usable format that will aid decision makers in implementing measures to increase the safety and secnrity of the complex. If this phase is not conducted in a timely and effective manner, the previous steps will likely be negated. The primary purpose of the report is to prioritize vulnerabilities that pose the greatest risk to the school and/or school district. There are several helpfnl tips to consider when developing the final report (U.S. Department of Edncation, 2008).
