Reference documents for the review

The review team needs to have appropriate documentation available prior to and during the review. It is also helpful if the host organization prepares presentations at the beginning of the review. Presentations should contain important information from the EOP s development and implementation process and thus render the team s familiarization process more effective. 

Owing to the comprehensiveness of specific technical information such as respective FSAR chapters, EOF background documents, supporting thermal-hydraulic analysis, etc., it may be necessary to study some documentation in advance. The content and scope of such information, which will be made available to the review team, needs to be agreed upon beforehand and should reflect the intended scope of the review. 

The typical list of documents for any particular plant includes the following  

Review of the EOP programme requires a team of competent experts to deal with different technical areas. The effectiveness of the review will be highly dependent on the quality and adequacy of the reviewers profile. Because of the small number of experts on the review team it is recommended that all of them have adequate background in modern EOP philosophy in addition to their own specialization. The concepts of modern EOP packages are quite complex and the review process should not allow improvisation on the spot. The experts qualifications in terms of their practical and technical expertise can be described as follows  

A general safety background capability to review the consistency of the approach used for EOP development with the overall plant safety approach
