IAEA Procedure for ICSP

• Draft was developed through the consultancy with
  CSIs of CRP on natural circulation based on the
  OECD document (CSNI Report No. 17 Rev. 4, March
  2004, CSNI International Standard Problem

• IAEA Draft Safety Guide DS349 Application of the
  Management System for Nuclear Facilities
  (Appendix II Management System for Research and
  Development Activities) was quoted for quality
  management
